introduction
Energy Voice Institute (EVI) was created to address critical energy issues. Critical issues include public education about the energy industry with an emphasis on balancing both economic and environmental concerns.
Workforce development is also a critical component. Many people that have worked in the electric energy industry for the last thirty years are reaching retirement age and there is a huge gap in the employees that staff the electric utilities in the 25-40 age range. The focus of so many young people seems to be in other industries. The loss of workers is expected to hit hard by 2010. We need to be pro-active in creating a pool of potential employees by spreading information on the rewarding and beneficial job opportunities that are available.
