Nebraska’s Community Colleges now offer programs in renewable energy technologies — wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal and biofuels. With American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 grants from the Nebraska Energy Office six community college systems have added coursework and training equipment to prepare students for careers in renewable energy fields. Teams of instructors from the colleges have developed courses using national competency standards, and continue to expand the course offerings. Instructors have received training from organizations such as the American Wind Energy Association, National Hydropower Association, Geothermal Energy Association, Solar Energy Institute, and others who offer the most advanced thinking in renewable energy.

Financial Assistance
The Nebraska State Energy Sector Partnership syNErgy Project
syNErgy is funded through a U.S. Department of Labor State Energy Sector Partnership grant and is coordinated through the Nebraska Department of Labor. The goal of syNErgy is to place skilled workers in unsubsidized employment in the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency fields by preserving and creating new jobs in power generation, transportation, building, agriculture and waste management markets while reducing the environmental footprint of these energy intensive industries.
Officials at Northeast Community College recently learned that the Nebraska Department of Labor’s syNErgy Program grant funds for students interested in green careers have been increased from $2,000 to $6,000 per student. The grant awards will be available for tuition, fees, books, and required materials for those studying renewable fuels (ethanol), wind energy, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, industrial technology, building construction, and welding at Nebraska colleges. Participants must complete their studies by December 2012. For more information, contact Shanelle Grudzinski at (402)844-7692, email shanelle@northeast.edu or contact Theresa Kratochvil, Nebraska Department of Labor at (402)564-3124, email Theresa.kratochvil@nebraska.gov.
Check with your local community college financial assistance office for information on syNErgy grants.
U.S. Department of Labor State Energy Sector Partnership (SESP) Nebraska Grant -- $4,839,511
In June 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced the availability of approximately $190 million in grant funds to State Workforce Investment Boards of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. The Nebraska Department of Labor received $4,839,511.
The creation of the Nebraska State Energy Sector Partnership (SESP) will align the Governor’s Workforce Vision with an educated workforce skilled in renewable energy production, bio-fuels, and energy efficient building industries. The overall purpose of the SESP is to support and grow Nebraska’s ‘green’ economy resulting in jobs for our citizens.
