Smart Grid Workforce Training: Courses Available

We plan to offer the first two Smart Grid Courses beginning in October.  These are

·         Introduction to Electric Utilities, and

·         Overview of the Smart Grid

More courses will be available in the spring.

We plan on beginning course enrollment at the end of September.

We’ll soon have a website that provides all the program details.

We’ve had to change our initial strategy of having all courses worth one-credit.  Some courses have topics that involve more training than can be fit in a one-credit course.  The 24 courses now will vary from one to three credits.

We’ve also established three separate certificate focus areas:

·         Smart Grid Operations

·         Smart Grid Consumer Focus, and

·         Smart Grid General Studies
