The Future of Energy Careers

The energy industry is at the tipping point of the biggest opportunity in our history. As the global demand for energy grows at an unforeseen pace, there’s an equally urgent call for reliable, affordable, and clean power solutions to meet this need. Transforming these solutions from an idea to the grid will require a diverse pool of thought, driven by limitless curiosity, innovation, and persistence.

Many of these thought leaders are working tirelessly today, advancing technologies, improving existing generation pathways, and building on what we already know to accelerate change. From boardrooms to drafting tables and on the ground in power plants, ideas are being generated at every level, from many roles, backgrounds and positions, that will shape tomorrow’s energy landscape.

The need for people to keep accelerating this progress is only going to grow.

The change-makers of tomorrow are in the classroom today, powered by a passion for creating a sustainable future that’s emerging through interests in engineering, business, EDI, legislation, human resources, construction, marketing, and more—all streams that flow into the next generation of energy industry innovators who will transform our future.

At Capital Power, we’re invested in supporting our employees in their drive to create a brighter world powered by clean energy, while championing innovators through mentorship, scholarships, and educational programing. Our people are our competitive advantage – be part of our energy!
