Overview
• Workforce opportunity from an industry in transition
• Evolving competencies
• Power engineering pipeline development
• IEEE PES Scholarship Plus Initiative
• Power engineering education
• Recruitment and outreach resources
Industry Transition Presents Opportunities
Drivers for Industry Transition
• More dependency on power• Aging assets and people• Changing generation mix• Integrate renewables, storage• Increasing customer choice
Opportunity to Build Workforce
• Plan for future workforce• Partner with educators• Build career awareness• Increase diversity• Evolve competencies• Develop, recruit, retain
A Business Threat and Opportunity
Pending retirements are a business threat
• American Public Power Association Workforce Survey
– 58% believe retirements will pose a moderate or great challenge to their utility
• Major concerns— Loss of knowledge— Difficulty finding replacements
• Opportunity to build for the future
Rate of Solar installations per minute in the US is declining
2014: One installation every 2.5 minutes

IEEE Power and Energy Engineering Workforce Collaborative
1. Double the number of power graduates 2. Provide $4 million undergraduate power
engineering scholarships3. Create 2,000 internship opportunities 4. Hire 80 new power faculty members in the
US over the next five years 5. Raise annual university research funding
to $50 million per year 6. Create five University Centers of
Excellence to conduct power research and education
In easy-to-reference lists, the report outlines specific steps needed to meet these goals.

the 2005/6 Survey to the 2013/14 Survey
• The potential for faculty and staff retirements is high over next 10 years – Over 40% of faculty and staff will be retirement eligible over the
next 10 years
29
• Diverse course topics are being offered such as renewables, smart grid, etc. with electronics being the most frequently noted.
• Use of distance learning is growing – University distance learning
offerings has grown from 19% in the 2005/6 Survey to 35% in the 2013/14
