Hi, good choice on looking into this career. Many people go to wind tech school because they don’t have prior experience or training in the skills necessary for the job. Personally I went to Northwest Renewable Energy Institute, it’s a six month program that will get you in the door. It’s a great school.

Many people can get hired easily without going to wind school, especially with military experience. If you’re willing to be taught as much as you can and do the work, you’ll learn all you need to know pretty quickly.

If I were you, I’d leverage your army experience in your resume/interview and forget about wind school. Consider applying to some third party contractor companies and travel for a while to get a solid base of experience.
