Examples of investment include: • Active participation in the consortium and its task forces • Ensuring industry representation on advisory committees • Providing “supply” data on graduates and other meaningful pipeline information • Working with industry to address graduates’ skill gaps or knowledge deficiencies • Implementing energy curriculum that results in industry-recognized credentials and greater optionality for students
