Because the Energy and Utilities industry sector consists of many different companies and products, skills developed in one segment may be transferable to other segments. The career pathways in this sector emphasize real-world, occupationally relevant experiences of significant scope and depth. Students with skills in specific segments will be prepared to enter local, state, and national employment markets. This sector’s career pathways provide career opportunities for persons with varying levels of experience and education, and the sector is forecast to experience significant growth in employment over the next decade, particularly in jobs related to water and sewage systems. In addition, production workers’ earnings are significantly higher than those in most other industries.
