Demand is steadily increasing for skilled public utilities positions. This is due, in part, to more stringent regulations and more limited natural resources as well as a steady stream of retiring professionals leaving the industry that is creating an increasing need for this type of professional.

To help meet the need of this employment demand, the Seminole Campus is hosting an open house event.
