Holland BPW Unveils New Careers Brochure to Inspire High School Students

Holland, MI – February 17, 2025 – Holland Board of Public Works (BPW) is excited to announce the release of its new careers brochure, designed to inspire high school students to explore rewarding and in-demand careers in the utility industry. The Utility Career Fields brochure will be distributed to local high school counselors. Additionally, it is available digitally on the Holland BPW website.

The brochure provides an overview of various career opportunities within the utility sector, including energy, water, fiber optics, and business roles. It highlights the meaningful and essential work done by utility professionals, emphasizing the importance of providing electricity, clean water, wastewater services, and reliable internet services to the community.

Key Features of the Brochure:

  • Career Clusters and Interests: The brochure uses the National Career Clusters Framework to categorize roles at Holland BPW, helping students discover career paths that align with their interests and passions. Readers can explore possible career paths that link to their interests in fields such as environment and conservation, science and engineering, skilled trades, technology, and business.
  • Career Paths: Since career paths are personal and can take many shapes, the brochure emphasizes how to grow in a field rather than how to obtain a specific job title. This approach provides recommendations for furthering education, showing where to start and what the next steps could look like. For example, whether the education requirements are for certifications or degrees.
  • Real-Life Testimonials: The brochure includes testimonials from Holland BPW employees, sharing their experiences and the impact of their work on the community.

Accessing the Digital Brochure: The digital version of the Holland BPW Careers Brochure can be accessed on the Holland BPW website at hollandbpw.com/en/education#careers

"Holland BPW is passionate about fostering the next generation of utility professionals," Dave Koster, General Manager at Holland BPW.
