NW-REI wins VBJ Business Growth Award honor as Start-Up of the Year!

On Thursday, April 29th, our client Northwest Renewable Energy Institute (NW-REI) was selected as the Start-Up of the Year by the Vancouver Business Journal.

By the end of 2010, NW-REI expects to teach as many as 576 students the technical skills necessary to service, repair and maintain wind turbines. NW-REI’s wind turbine technician training program is poised to become a crucial learning center for the green industry in the Pacific Northwest, offering monthly starts for its six-month-long renewable energy program.

Congrats!

Northwest Renewable Energy Institute

There’s no “recession” in the wind energy sector. In fact, job growth and career opportunities are explosive right now, especially in the Pacific Northwest.

One of our clients is NW-REI in Vancouver, WA. They are training students to become certified wind turbine technicians and helping them find jobs. We’ve been running a targeted campaign including TV, radio and outdoor advertising for NW-REI, and the response from potential students is almost overwhelming.

Good thing they have so much room to grow on their campus… they’re gonna need it!
