National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Webinar: Building the 21st Century Energy Workforce

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) is hosting a webinar on Building the 21^st Century Energy Workforce on Thursday, September 10^th, at 3:00 PM.

Workforce development is one of the most important issues facing the U.S. energy industry that employs 6.7 million Americans. Clean energy jobs are growing as new technologies come online, while some traditional resources—such as coal-fired power plants—are shutting down, leaving a growing number of Americans out of work. Large-scale retirements among an aging workforce also present new challenges for hiring qualified workers across the energy sector. This session will explore the workforce challenges and opportunities facing the energy sector, highlight how the coronavirus pandemic is shifting the energy jobs landscape and how policymakers can support and train skilled workers to fill these vital positions.​
