CEWD West Region Meeting
The Center for Energy Workforce Development
Mission: Build the alliances, processes, and tools to develop tomorrow’s energy workforce.
• First partnership between utilities and their associations – EEI, AGA, NEI and NRECA to focus solely on these issues
• Incorporated in March, 2006• Utilities and associations join as members• Partnering with educational institutions,
workforce system, and unions to create workable solutions
The Challenge
• Not enough skilled craft workers to:– build new infrastructure– install, maintain and repair equipment– operate facilities
• Not enough qualified workers coming through training pipeline
• Unprecedented economic growth in the Southeast• Growth in demand
Challenge is growing the pool of diverse, qualified workers in time.
The quality of the U. S. labor pool begins with our public education system
Ten children enter kindergarten
70% graduate high school on time
75% of high school graduates enter postsecondary education
One third are not prepared to do college level work
One half fail to return after their first year
Data from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ‘s Institute for a Competitive Workforce
What can be done?
• Collaborative solutions – industry, education, workforce system
• Focus on both short and long term• Multilayered strategies– targeted
awareness and training for different age groups and skill levels
• Variety of training options – Grades 8-14, pre-apprentice, apprenticeship programs, technical and community college
CEWD Goals
Get into Energy Website
• Initial focus on 4 key jobs – Lineworker, Plant Operator, Technician, Pipefitter / Pipelayer
• Career assessment tool• Career profiles, skills, education
required• Google map for education and
job locations• Creating short film on Nuclear,
Natural Gas, Coal• Parents and Educators sections
