Energy Management Graduate Looks Toward Bright Future

While working in the construction field after high school, BJ Vanover began to notice an increase in the use of and demand for energy efficient materials, and an increase in blower door testing. Realizing that the energy management field was a good industry to pursue, he looked into his educational options and chose the energy management program at Delaware Tech.

Vanover had a great experience at the College, enjoying the hands-on learning and value of the course content. He also valued the challenges presented by his instructors, which he felt developed him into a professional ready to jump into the field upon graduation. “It’s not easy, but it has been worth it,” he said.

After graduating in 2016, Vanover began working at Warren Energy Engineering in West Grove, Penn. He is also working on his bachelor’s degree at the University of Delaware. After he graduates, he plans to focus on promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy in any way possible.

"The value of the education I received at Delaware Tech was much higher than what I paid," he said. "It has prepared me to break into my field with a running start, and I feel that anyone who attends Delaware Tech will get that same opportunity."
