Based on last year’s success, Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) Chesapeake believes that the Dominion Exceptional Energy Grant for the 2011/2012 school year will carry over its workforce development initiatives from the 2010/2011 school year. They are very excited to be working with Dominion Virginia Power again this year. With this in mind, IEC Chesapeake plans to continue its Renewable Energy Awareness Project, this time around, be focused on high and career and technical education students in Maryland Counties to include Charles, Prince George’s and St. Mary’s. IEC Chesapeake will also conduct several educational presentations at Edison Academy in Virginia as well.
In addition to educating students about the emerging trend of renewable energy/technology and its impact impacts not only the betterment of our environment, but also the career opportunities that the renewable energy market presents in both construction trades and other applicable fields.
IEC Chesapeake will incorporate visual reference and demonstration of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCSs) to provide students insight about this emerging technology.
This project will be conducted via classroom presentations which will be animated and illustrative to keep students engaged and encourage participation. The goal is to generate a heightened interest and peak the curiosity of students that have the potential to be our future leaders of the industry. IEC Chesapeake greatly appreciates the workforce development support of Dominion Virginia Power.
