Learning Objective: Increase knowledge and awareness of employment potential in Energy
The Marcellus Shale Coalition works with exploration and production, midstream, and supply chain partners to address issues regarding the production of clean, job-creating, American natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica Shale plays.
Aimed at college students and young professionals, this workshop uses as a back drop what the American Petroleum Institute has reported on: Jobs, business development, and workforce needs in hydrocarbon energy, contrasted against projections on what a career in the energy field can offer young professionals.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Identify the workforce needs of the energy industry.
b. Discuss the present opportunities in the energy sector for new professionals.
c. Examine strategies to benefit the companies and employees.

Takeaways
o There are significant employment opportunities in this region,
and in the surrounding regions.
o Minority groups and women can take advantage of these
opportunities—the projections for these groups should be
considered floors.
o The bulk of job opportunities will be in blue collar occupations,
mainly in the upstream sector; white collar positions are also
significant.
o Education and workforce training are critical; significant
improvement is needed in STEM disciplines, and recruitment
should focus on transferable skills.
