2020 was challenging, yet CUE emerged from it as optimistic as ever
Here are a few reasons why:
We enjoy the strong support of industry partners. Our original sponsors — Hydro One, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and Toronto Hydro — continue to invest and trust in our leadership and vision. Over the past decade, we’ve attracted other important strategic partners such as Schneider Electric, Tata Power and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
Our role is more vital than ever. We already knew there was an urgent need to rethink how we generate, store, distribute, transport, consume and pay for energy in response to the climate crisis and Canada’s ambitious net-zero emissions targets. But now, there is also a part to play in helping the economy to “build back better” through a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The industry looks to us for highly qualified personnel. With more than 1,000 alumni, CUE’s programs have ensured a steady stream of top talent for the energy sector. As we strive to achieve a zero-carbon future and a green economy, there is an ever greater need for individuals with advanced technical and analytical skills to mobilize knowledge and drive positive change.
