FPL Energy has announced that in an effort to meet the increased demand for highly skilled employees in the wind energy business in Texas and throughout the region it has formed a partnership with Texas State Technical College West Texas to educate and train students in wind turbine technology.
As part of the partnership, FPL Energy will assist TSTC West Texas with its curriculum by offering subject matter experts and faculty adjuncts; allow opportunities for participants to interact with FPL Energy wind experts on and off campus; provide paid internships within FPL Energy wind operations; and work with the college to secure the equipment and other resources necessary for laboratory facilities. TSTC West Texas currently offers a two year degree developed by TSTC faculty in collaboration with program advisory group members of the wind industry including FPL Energy.
