Industry Partners Program

Professional Land Management

The School of Energy Resources' (SER) Industry Partners Program invites collaboration with industry and business leaders to enhance the academic and experiential learning opportunities for students in the Professional Land Management (PLM) concentration of the Energy Resource Management and Development (ERMD) undergraduate degree program.

 

As land, legal, and regulatory challenges continue to shape the energy industry, there is a growing demand for professionals who bring both technical skill and practical understanding to the field. SER is committed to developing the next generation of land professionals—individuals who are well-prepared to navigate complex land and resource issues with integrity, innovation, and leadership.

 

Through your partnership, you help ensure the continued success and relevance of the PLM program. Industry support directly enables us to:

  • Recruit and retain high-potential students from across the country

  • Provide hands-on, field-based learning experiences in real-world settings

  • Connect students with professionals through mentorship, site visits, and networking opportunities

 

By investing in the PLM program, you are helping to cultivate a strong, capable pipeline of land professionals ready to meet the evolving needs of the energy sector.

Student Recruitment

The ability to offer engaging opportunities for students allows us to recruit and retain talented students from Wyoming and beyond!

Registration and Travel Costs

NAPE Summit and Expo is an annual event that is the premier networking event for the land professions. Support allows us to bring multiple students to what is potentially a game-changer in their career opportunities. 

Wyoming Industry Visits

Nothing is more valuable that getting to experience energy development in Wyoming. By covering transportation and accommodation costs associated with Wyoming industry site visits, students can take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to the real world.

Mentorship Program

The SER Mentorship program provides an expanded experience for students to engage with industry mentors. Offered to Juniors and Seniors in the Energy Resource Management and Development program, SER pairs students with an industry mentor and facilitates meetings.

Tuition and Fees

While field courses are avaialble to all SER students, they still require tuition and fees. Subsidizing those classroom costs allow students to learn in the real world. 

Study Abroad

Understanding energy development around the world significantly enhances the education of students. Help support students learning abroad in the energy field!

Student Chapter of Energy Resources

The Student Chapter of Energy Resources is the student-run club that organizes networking, professional development, and student egagement opportunities throughout the year. 

Allowing students to do. Not just be.
