As technicians in Energy and STEM related
industries retire or approach retirement and new
industries emerge, the demand for new highly
trained technicians will continue to grow. Education
and training in STEM and Energy programs offered
in the Division of Science and Engineering
Technologies can lead to employment with entry-
level salaries ranging from $25,000 to $60,000.
Starting salaries depend on the type and size of the
employing company, the nature of the job, industry
experience, and whether shift work is required.
