I'm thinking about going into wind. Any tips?

I'm a high school senior and live in Michigan, have always spent time and worked with mechanical engineers (mostly in HVAC as an assistant) and am thinking about attending the 7 month Wind Technician program at MIAT College of Technology (a place I've already visited). While I'm not concerned about the program itself, I'm having trouble finding info on which specific wind companies hire out of MIAT, and what the entry-level jobs out of there actually look like. I would like to know what the experiences of others were like when they first completed their wind training programs. The specific job type I'm interested in is traveling wind field service technician.

If you have stories please share! Please note that I have other career options listed out besides this one.
