The strongest regional workforce strategies are built when the whole industry is in the room: large utilities and small co-ops, metro markets and rural communities alike. Workforce consortia bring together stakeholders and pool resources to solve industry challenges.
Join us to hear from energy employers—including NRECA members— actively engaged in consortia. We will be joined by members of the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD), a non-profit consortium that includes more than 140 energy companies, associations, government entities, and more, working in partnership to unite energy stakeholders in attracting and developing a highly skilled workforce.
Active in approximately 20 states, CEWD's energy workforce consortia are helping participating employers make meaningful progress across three areas: building regional career awareness that attracts more people to energy careers and the skilled trades, developing employer-aligned training pipelines that deliver better-prepared candidates more efficiently, and amplifying a collective workforce policy voice that no single employer could generate on its own.
Hear how you can benefit from:
- Career awareness and promotion opportunities.
- Leadership and workforce development strategies and tools.
- Collaboration and leadership opportunities.
You will leave with a clear picture of the benefits of workforce consortia to your business— because the energy talent challenge is too big, too complex and too consequential for any one employer to solve alone.
