Greensupplychain.org Includes nine institutions, mostly technical colleges and
community colleges, that provide renewable energy training
courses.
Delaware Midland College has developed an Energy Technology Program that includes wind energy production. A brief description follows: The Energy Technology Program will provide training in the electrical and mechanical aspects of the installation, operation, and maintenance systems used in petroleum explorations and production and in wind energy production. Graduates will be prepared for jobs as field, installation, operation and maintenance technicians. Developed as a direct response to employer requests, the program is uniquely structured with two basic certificates applicable to both petroleum and wind energy industries. These certificates include competencies in technical calculations, basic fluid power, electricity principles, electromechanical troubleshooting and repair, safety, programmable logic controllers, pump operation, field reports and data transfer, and working with servers. Upon completion of the basic certificates, students may elect to specialize in either petroleum or wind energy and acquire advanced skills relating to these fields. Another unique aspect of
the program is that the basic certificate is offered through
dual enrollment to eligible high school students. This
approach accommodates the need for area high schools to
incorporate curriculum linked to the central component of
the regional economy – energy production. It also
recognizes that many high school students seek jobs in the
energy industry immediately upon graduation. By mastering
the competencies addressed in the basic certificates, these
individuals are better prepared to perform successfully in
entry level positions.
Mid-State
Technical College presently offers three renewable energy
technical associate degree programs and by fall 2009 will
gave five programs. Current programs are Biorefinery
Technician, Renewable Thermal
Technician and Renewable Electricity
Technician . Programs starting fall 2009 are Energy

CertificationsCertified Energy Manager. CEM. Since its inception in 1981, the Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) credential has become widely accepted and used as a measure of professional accomplishment within the energy management field. It has gained industry-wide use as the standard for qualifying energy professionals both in the United States and abroad. It is recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Office of Federal Energy Management Programs (FEMP), and the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as by numerous state energy offices, major utilities, corporations and energy service companies Certified Carbon Manager. The Association of Energy Engineers (CRM) program was developed to recognize the expertise of those professionals who have special knowledge and experience in the area of facilitating organization with the goal of becoming as “carbon neutral” as possible in their efforts to support and be a part of the new and growing “green-minded” economy.
LEED Accredited professional

facilitate the
LEED certification process. LEED
Professional Accreditation is a voluntary
designation achieved by over 60,000
individuals who have passed the LEED
Professional Accreditation exam. The Green
Building Certification Institute recommends
that LEED AP candidates have building
industry knowledge, as well as experience
working with green building professionals
from multiple disciplines.
Certified Sustainable Development
Professional - (CSDP)
Another program by the Association of Energy
Engineers designed to provide recognition
for professionals who have distinguished
themselves as leaders in the sustainable
development field. These individuals have
