Create and scale green workforce development programs
Wednesday June 25, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm EDT
The two significant challenges facing the United States are climate change and growing economic insecurity. While each issue requires unique strategies, solutions can be aligned for mutual benefit. For example, transitioning to a carbon-free power sector by 2035 and achieving a net-zero economy by 2050 will create numerous job opportunities.

A critical element in realizing these opportunities is to create and scale green workforce development programs that will sustain and thrive beyond short-term funding opportunities, which is essential for raising awareness about job opportunities in the energy sector.

Such collaborations allow students to gain hands-on experience through internships, apprenticeships, and job placements. These are crucial for preparing a skilled workforce capable of meeting the demands of the evolving energy sector. These programs provide students practical skills, real-world experience, and improved employability upon graduation.

Moreover, these partnerships are essential for promoting diversity within the energy sector. By engaging a wide range of educational institutions, including those that serve underrepresented communities, ACT can help ensure that the benefits of clean energy jobs are accessible to a diverse population. This approach addresses systemic barriers to occupational segregation, allowing individuals from various backgrounds to pursue careers in this dynamic field.
