    Suzanne Jones of AESP says energy efficiency jobs abound

    Where are the jobs? You don’t have to look far, when it comes to energy efficiency, says Suzanne Jones, vice president of sales and marketing for the Association of Energy Services Professionals (AESP). In fact, filling the void created by retiring baby boomers is a big challenge for the industry. People are needed across the board, especially at utilities, where many boomers stayed for 20 years and are now retiring, she says. Researchers, marketers, energy efficiency program designers, and program implementers are just some of the people needed.

    AESP offers a website, MyEnergyGateway.org, for students interested in these jobs.
