“ECA is a dynamic industry group at Anderson and was instrumental in facilitating my career transition from financial services to renewable energy development. Through Energy 101s, ACT, and case competitions, I learned power market fundamentals and gained a deeper understanding of different roles within the industry. DOJ introduced me to a network of Anderson alumni in renewables, which led to securing both a summer internship and a full-time job offer! For anyone exploring climate-oriented careers in energy, mobility, or clean-tech, ECA is the place to be”.
