Good Afternoon,
I wanted to reach out about some great opportunities that are happening now at the Hydropower Foundation!
The Hydropower Foundation is hosting our annual Hiring for Hydro, which is a jam-packed day that includes an opening introduction to hydropower (Hydro-101); a focused resume-building activity; an opportunity to learn about hydropower careers directly from industry organizations, and most importantly, the chance to meet and network with hydropower industry professionals and potential employers.
This is a free event and includes a complimentary lunch provided by NWHA; application is required. Financial assistance will be considered for students traveling more than 2 hours to the event. I have included the H4H flyer and the link to the application. Hiring for Hydro will be hosted at the Grand Sheraton Seattle Downtown (1400 6th Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101) from 9-4:30pm on Tuesday, February 6th.

The next opportunity is our new WC2 or Waterpower Clubs. The goal of the Hydropower Foundation is to help universities find students and a faculty member to start their own Waterpower Club. We would support students and faculty in forming a structure, schedule of activities, and programming and will maintain communication with the faculty member and the student chair. These clubs will help bridge the gap between students and the waterpower industry/community. Our goal is to provide Presentations from waterpower community professionals (2-3 per semester), Career training and mentoring, Access to HF student events and programs, Internship and Cooperative education notifications, and Scholarship Opportunities (2 per academic year, per school), Funding for Club-related food and activities (Hopefully this helps in case you don’t get funding from your university).
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you!
