The energy business has suffered several boom and bust cycles of the past few decades due to the fluctuating price of oil. This has produced an uneven age distribution within the industry, with many of the longer term workers getting ready to retire. The Futures in Energy program was established to introduce high school juniors and seniors to the oil and gas business and encourage them to think about careers in this field. The program takes students from outcrops to drilling rigs giving them an opportunity to experience many aspects of the industry. Futures in Energy will take place at the Colorado School of Mines on June 23-27, 2014 with openings for 20 students.
