What degrees or qualifications are required for a career in energy?
Generally, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) classes will serve you well for any of our technical careers, as they require an understanding of how and why things work.
After a two- or four-year college program, you have many paths to consider. The industry is always in need of engineers of all types. We need those who study environmental science, energy (of course), natural and sustainable resources, marine biology, supply chain management, cyber-security and infrastructure systems.
For those looking to start work right out of high school or after earning a GED, the industry offers entry-level positions that provide all-year training you will need to advance your career.
