Students
A sustainable energy education will help you build a brighter future. We can help you get started on an exciting and rewarding career path.
Here are some university programs, both graduate and undergraduate, with a focus on sustainable energy, or research interests in sustainable energy:
The University of Victoria, Institute for Integrated Energy Systems – promotes feasible paths to sustainable energy systems by developing new technologies and perspectives to overcome barriers to the widespread adoption of sustainable energy. Founded in 1989, IESVic conducts original research to develop key technologies for sustainable energy systems and actively promotes the development of sensible, clean energy alternatives.
York University, Faculty of Environmental Studies – a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental education. Professor Rob Macdonald teaches a course in sustainable energy and advises graduate students interested in this field.
Simon Fraser University, School of Resource and Environmental Management – Energy and Materials Research Group – a research arm of the REM program that takes a limited number of graduate students.

Clean Energy Classrooms
This comprehensive online resource previously listed programs, courses and workshops in 6 different regions of Canada. A project of the BC Sustainable Energy Association in partnership with Renewable Recruits, Clean Energy Classrooms (cleanenergyclassrooms.ca) was a one-stop resource portal to training & education options in Canadian sustainable energy.
However, due to changing circumstances at BCSEA and at Renewable Recruits, cleanenergyclassrooms.ca had not really been properly updated since 2011. With a server consolidation in early 2013, we decided to take it offline.

We still have the content of the website, so it might be back in the future. Let us know what you think: info@bcsea.org
