Find an Impactful Career
Veterans are often drawn to mission-driven work, seeking opportunities to contribute to a cause larger than themselves. The clean energy sector strongly resonates with this ethos, offering not only professional growth within a rapidly expanding industry, but also the chance to enhance national energy security and contribute to a sustainable future for all Americans. Notably, veterans comprise 10% of the clean energy workforce, significantly overrepresenting their 1% share of the national population. This high concentration underscores the alignment between veterans' values and the core mission of clean energy. For veterans, this sector provides a continuation of service, allowing them to leverage their existing leadership, teamwork, and technical skills while pursuing fulfilling careers. The transition to clean energy careers often represents a natural evolution, building upon the skills and experiences honed during their military service.

Energy Security IS National Security
The connection between energy security and national security is undeniable. Many of our members have firsthand experience safeguarding energy supply chains through military service. Clean energy presents a powerful opportunity to not only provide affordable power, but also to mitigate the risks associated with reliance on foreign energy sources. By bolstering domestic energy production, we reduce our dependence on potentially adversarial nations, strengthening both energy security and, consequently, national security. Our members contribute to this critical objective through diverse avenues, including expanding and modernizing transmission networks, enhancing energy efficiency, and engaging in various other facets of the clean energy sector. These efforts are vital for ensuring a resilient and secure energy future for the nation.
