Aerospace career interest video and information available on MetroDenverCareers.com

New web site provides career information for key high-tech industries

The Metro Denver WIRED Initiative (WIRED) has created MetroDenverCareers.com, a place for students, job seekers, educators and business professionals to learn about and access career resources for some of the region's fastest growing, high-wage, industries - aerospace, bioscience, energy, and information technology-software.

MetroDenverCareers.com includes new career interest brochures created by WIRED in partnership with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The four brochures contain descriptions and salaries of industry occupations, skills and education needed for each occupation and the places individuals can go to attain the needed skills and education.

In addition to career brochures, MetroDenverCareers.com also features two newly created career interest videos for the aerospace and IT industries and previously created videos for the bioscience and energy industries. The videos showcase the breadth of Colorado companies and jobs found in these industries, and dispel some common myths, such as jobs in these industries are only available for certain education levels.

"This site and the brochures, videos and resources it contains does an excellent job of encouraging the development of a home-grown skilled workforce for some of the region's most important industries," said Janice Rooney, corporate relations manager at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. "I hope anyone considering a career, a job change or looking for information about the industries will take advantage of all that MetroDenverCareers.com has to offer."
