This webinar explores the experiences and perspectives of two energy industry professionals, Mažana Armstrong from Powertech Labs and John Matthiesen from Hatch. The discussion focuses on their backgrounds, lessons learned and experiences gained along their career paths, critical choices made and the impacts of those choices, and their current roles in the industry.

This webinar features panelists from ENWIN Utilities, Seattle City Light, and National Grid discussing the career choice between becoming a subject matter expert (SME) or moving into management. Panelists share the pros and cons of each path, how they honed their skills, and advice for professionals facing this decision.

CEATI’s Young Professionals Network joined forces with the Hydropower Foundation to host a meeting on hydropower career pathways and activities. Hydropower industry trends, the future growth of hydropower jobs, current workforce demographics, hydropower resources for the workforce, and career maps were some of the topics covered and discussed among the young professionals in attendance. Attendees also had the chance to network and share knowledge with their industry peers.

The session's goal was to provide participants with the opportunity to practice public speaking skills in an intimate setting, sharing brief presentations on their topic of choice. Two presentations were made to the group: “Funicular Application for a Hydropower Station” and “The KHNP Hydropower Business Sector.”
