04 June 2008 -- The Energy Providers Coalition for Education (EPCE) said that Constellation Energy has joined the coalition.

EPCE is designed to solve workforce development issues through industry-sponsored online education. According to EPCE, in the next five years, approximately 50 percent of the energy workforce will be eligible to retire, creating a shortage of trained workers. EPCE attempts to create a pipeline of available workers while continuing to train existing industry employees.

Members of EPCE reportedly review and assess the EPCE curriculum. The EPCE curriculum is intended to be utilized as internal company training. EPCE is also said to provide a forum for networking with other industry professionals.

Currently listed EPCE-sponsored programs for the energy industry include online courses in Electric Power Technology and Nuclear Power Technology from Bismarck State College, Nuclear Energy Technology from Excelsior College, and Energy Utility Technology and Natural Gas Distribution from Thomas Edison State College.
