The founder of the Veterans Advanced Energy Project, Dan Misch, joined Chris Rawlings, CEO of VeteranLED and host of the Energy Source Podcast, for a conversation about his transition from the US Navy into the advanced energy industry and why clean energy is a good fit for military veterans.
“A lot of veterans are coming out of the service looking for ways to continue protecting the country and seeking service-oriented, mission-driven careers, and clean energy — and energy in general — really gives you that opportunity because it is the backbone of our economy and the strength of our nation,” Misch says. “The transition was very difficult for me. I would encourage if someone knows they’re getting out to start thinking hard about what they’re going to do or want to do. Energy is a no-brainer place to seek a career because there are parallels for nearly every active duty job out there.”
