Winning in Energy Efficiency

Winning in Energy Efficiency (WE2) is an initiative created by the Department of Energy and established in July 2025 to enhance the experience of all students in the Industrial Training and Assessment Center (ITAC) program

All CAES and WE2 event details can be found on our calendar and a list of upcoming events can be found here.

Our program is designed to help create mentorship and networking opportunities that supports our students and the future workforce. Our Mentorship Program connects them with industry professionals in the energy (or energy-related) industry. We encourage the exchange of ideas to help increase opportunities for career development through skill building, networking, and leadership.

WE2 is open to all ITAC students and interested industry professionals regardless of sex or gender.

The WE2 Mentorship Program

The WE2 Mentorship Program pairs current ITAC students with mentors who have at least two years of professional experience in the energy and engineering industries. The program’s goals include professional skill development, workforce development, and unique networking opportunities.
