Workforce advocates - New research from National Skills Coalition and BlueGreen Alliance quantifies the impact of federal infrastructure laws on our nation's labor supply. As we continue to make the case for investments and policies that expand access to high-quality infrastructure and clean energy jobs, this data answers key questions that leaders at every level are asking, including how many jobs will be created, in what industries, how do they measure in potential job quality, and what target populations need intentional support to benefit from this opportunity.

Calling infrastructure enthusiasts - have you ever thought of your work this way? (see quote from one of Burns & McDonnell and 1898 & Co. founders). While I'm not so sure the "romantic" part resonates in 2024, the rest of Robert McDonnell's words from nearly 100 years ago ring truer to me than ever before. Planning, designing, building and maintaining all kinds of critical infrastructure saves human lives and adds to the health, happiness and prosperity of our communities. Having worked in the public and private sectors (a couple of times each) and seeing infrastructure sectors converging - I know what you do matters! We can all look for opportunities to collaborate more in our work teams and across sectors keep those words vibrant for another 100 years!

🔋 America's Next Energy Challenge: Skilled Clean Energy Workers Needed The demand for skilled clean energy workers in the U.S. is rapidly outpacing supply. As we push for energy independence and economic resilience, the shortage of trained professionals is a hurdle—but one we can overcome. 🤝 Public-private partnerships hold the key to bridging this gap. By collaborating with community colleges and trade schools, companies can create targeted training programs that align with their specific needs. For example, Sila's partnership in Moses Lake, WA, provides students with hands-on experience and immediate job opportunities, ensuring a steady talent pipeline. 📚 Investing in workforce development is just as crucial as investing in infrastructure. Through innovative training and partnership models, we can build a robust, skilled labor force ready to lead the clean energy transition.💼 #CleanEnergy #WorkforceDevelopment #PublicPrivatePartnerships
