The demand for sustainable energy in the world is rapidly increasing as the availability of traditional energies become more costly both in terms of dollars and impact on the environment. The Wind Energy industry is exploding in the United States and the world. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL), Emerging Energy Research (EER) and the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) indicates a large growth in the availability of jobs relating to the wind industry. Installation of commercial wind turbines as well as small wind turbines in the US is creating a large demand for not only installers but turbine maintenance professional as continuing employment. Sauk's new program trains individuals to become turbine installation and maintenance professionals. Become a part of this exciting growing industry!
