Thought I'd give you a reminder that it was "Energy Production Technology" instead of a "Nuclear Energy" program, though some classes applied to Nuclear (such as Radiation Protection). This was meant to widen the scope of where graduates could go (industry or geography). Heck, the program currently offers Wind Energy classes too.
As Bulldog mentioned Fossil, there is that Natural Gas Plant across the Highway from Palisades. Michigan has been in a rough spot long before the nation followed suit, but the opportunities do open up time to time. You should also have read on this site that Utilities are known for taking a long time to hire.
I'm told that the graduates are interviewing very poorly. Make sure you practice all of the "Tell me about a time when [insert adversity here and how you overcame it]."
That's unfortunate, Mike. I asked a followup question to one of the instructors and found that even though it was mentioned that students would be "introduced to industry testing and interview practices", the method of introduction isn't optimal. The instructor doesn't even meet with the class where it is introduced, so it seems like it rests ultimately on the individual to become familiar with them. I'll have to see how it goes and see about giving feedback through the proper channels.
