Troops to Energy Jobs - Get Into Energy

ENERGIZE YOUR CAREER

More than six million people work in energy careers in the United States. From future-focused innovators and engineers exploring new ways to harness and store power, to skilled tradespeople, who are the backbone of the industry’s operations. Others are developing a national infrastructure for the rise in electric vehicle transportation, exploring renewable natural gas for transport needs, addressing cyber-security challenges, or even supporting the business of energy. The work of these professionals is essential, rewarding, and always in demand. And much of it is done by veterans.

Energy employers value the leadership skills, team orientation, “can do” spirit, and work ethic that is ingrained in those with military experience. There is a natural transition from the military into energy careers, so much so that the energy sector has generally employed a higher percentage of veterans than other industries.
