[Kylan's Blog] Opportunities with Avista

Today I went to a talk given by Don Kopczynski, Vice President of
Operations at Avista Utilities. He spoke on the current and future
challenges facing power utilities, with an emphasis on opportunities
for new graduates at Avista. As I've learned from my time at SEL, the
business of power generation and distribution is dynamic and exciting.
Also, because of the pending retirement of the baby boomers, utility
companies are hurting for young engineers. Don said that Avista will
experience 50% employee turnover over the next five years on account
of this.
