Wind Technician Jobs Growing, in Iowa and Nationally

Feb. 20, 2017

The Gazette reported on the state of the wind industry in Iowa and visited Kirkwood Community College's Cedar Rapids campus, which is home to a wind turbine service technician program and a 2.5-megawatt turbine that not only helps power the campus but also serves as a teaching tool. Kirkwood instructor Tim Arnold said Iowa's growing wind industry is driving the need for skilled technicians to maintain wind farms nationwide.
