We are excited to announce the release of our new careers booklet, designed to inspire high school students to explore rewarding and in-demand careers in the utility industry. The Utility Career Fields booklet will be distributed to local high school counselors and is available digitally.
The booklet provides an in-depth look at various career opportunities within the utility sector, including energy, water, fiber optics, and business roles. It highlights the meaningful and essential work done by utility professionals, emphasizing the importance of providing electricity, clean water, and reliable internet services to the community.
Key Features of the Booklet
- Career Clusters and Interests: The brochure uses the National Career Clusters Framework to categorize roles at Holland BPW, helping students discover career paths that align with their interests and passions. Readers can explore possible career paths that link to their interests in fields such as environment and conservation, science and engineering, skilled trades, technology, and business.
- Career Paths: Since career paths are personal and can take many shapes, the brochure emphasizes how to grow in a field rather than how to obtain a specific job title. This approach provides recommendations for furthering education, showing where to start and what the next steps could look like. For example, whether the education requirements are for certifications or degrees.
- Real-Life Testimonials: The brochure includes testimonials from Holland BPW employees, sharing their experiences and the impact of their work on the community.
"Holland BPW is passionate about fostering the next generation of utility professionals," said Dave Koster, General Manager at Holland BPW. "Our new careers brochure is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring career ideas. It provides information and inspiration for pursuing fulfilling careers in the utility industry."
