OneEnergy Renewables and Net Impact Seek Tomorrow's Industry Leaders for 2016 OneEnergy Scholars Program

OneEnergy Renewables, a leading developer of utility-scale clean energy projects across North America, is now accepting applications for its 2016 class of OneEnergy Scholars. In partnership with renowned nonprofit Net Impact, the OneEnergy Scholars program recognizes graduate students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and commitment to building a cleaner energy future.
 
“This program propelled me into the solar industry,” said Rob Collier, Project Development Manager at OneEnergy Renewables. “With a background in clean energy policy, I had a great deal to learn about the nuts and bolts of solar project development. As a OneEnergy Scholar, I had the opportunity to start building the skillsets required to develop projects from inception to commercial operation.”
 
Through one-on-one mentorships, industry networking, and educational sessions with renewable energy experts, the OneEnergy Scholars program creates a platform for students to embark on successful careers.
 
“The OneEnergy Scholars program supports students who have both the ability to excel in the clean energy sector and the passion to make a difference,” said Bill Eddie, President of OneEnergy Renewables. “The Scholars program is a tremendous success story, and a rewarding opportunity to advance the careers of future industry leaders.”
 
Past OneEnergy Scholars are today employed at distinguished institutions including NRG Energy, Southern California Edison, Borrego Solar, SunEdison and more.
 
“Many Net Impact students are eager to contribute to the clean energy economy through their professional pursuits,” said Greg Francis, Director of Impact Programs for Net Impact. “The OneEnergy Scholars Program is a natural extension of our shared commitment with OneEnergy Renewables to help young people accelerate their impact through their careers.”
