Historic federal clean energy investments present an unprecedented opportunity to create quality, well-paying jobs and diversify the workforce. National Skills Coalition interviewed dozens of officials and skills advocates from more than ten states and several national organizations to provide our network with state examples and recommendations for taking action to meet this opportunity and build equitable pathways for clean energy jobs.
Workforce Partnerships for an Inclusive Clean Energy Workforce illustrates how four states: Illinois, Georgia, Washington, and New York, are achieving these goals by prioritizing partnerships between industry, workforce, and education partners such as community colleges.
You’ll learn that states who embrace these collaborations and proactively align their workforce strategies with federal investments will be best positioned to address workforce shortages, disrupt patterns of occupational segregation, and create a strong, diverse, and multigenerational clean energy workforce.
