Unprecedented Opportunity: Meeting the Workforce Demands of New Clean Energy, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure Investments

National Skills Coalition and the BlueGreen Alliance released new research and key findings that quantify the impacts of the laws on our nation’s labor supply. Based on the findings described in this data brief, we’ve identified three critical areas for meeting the opportunities posed by this historic investment while ensuring that a greater number and diversity of workers have the training, credentials, and support to access and succeed in these roles.

People Powered Infrastructure

In 2022 President Biden signed into law a historic, nearly $1 trillion bill to invest in American infrastructure. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is an investment that can meet the demand for resilient, sustainable, and equitable infrastructure, which will only increase in the midst of global transformation and climate change.

But investing in hard infrastructure isn’t enough – we must also invest in a diverse, multigenerational workforce trained to power our infrastructure. Join NSC in urging policy makers to support people powered infrastructure!
