Opportunities present themselves.

Paul Miller has learned that through his experience both as a teacher and a pastor.

Last fall, he took advantage of an opportunity to teach wind energy at the Rural Regional Technical Center at LaHarpe, leaving a job as a full-time substitute at Iola High School.

Now, he’s helping students discover opportunities in careers in wind energy.

He’s also excited to see what new opportunities come in the wind industry. Beyond needing technicians to work on wind turbines, there are jobs for substation management, drone operators, inspection and solar.

“It’s such an area of rapid growth and development,” he said. “As long as our planet is spinning on its axis, we will have wind.”
