As America’s demand for renewable energy increases, modern windmills are springing up around the country. Wind energy’s recent explosive growth is only expected to accelerate in the years ahead, thus creating tons of new jobs for electricians and electrical engineers, who will be needed to help build and maintain the equipment. 

For over 70 years, Berk Trade and Business School in Long Island City, NY has pioneered adult education programs that prepare people for exciting and rewarding technical careers. As wind power becomes a more powerful economic engine, they will continue to proudly offer students the skills they need to take part in this young but promising industry.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, within the next few decades up to 20% of America’s electricity could come from wind turbines. This new industry will require a new generation of skilled electricians, but the growth will spill into other fields, as well. 

The equipment must be developed, tested, and manufactured, and existing wind farms will likely need to be upgraded as new technology is developed. Each of these industries will require people with the technical background to build the momentum of alternative energy. Like most skilled trades, the wind industry offers high-paying salaries, and the potential to work anywhere in the country.

Prepare yourself to catch the wind energy wave by studying to become an electrical engineer or electrician at Berk Trade and Business School. This trade school, accredited by The Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, has built its reputation on helping people find satisfying work in stable fields.
