How do Jobs, Projects and Training Align?
The Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) workforce programs are officially launching. Organizations delivering these programs begin clean energy training this fall. Employers agree that there is a desperate need for more renewable energy workers, but where exactly are the jobs and projects? Will the training programs prepare people for jobs that are available in their region?
In this policy brief, we explore how the workforce programs align with the locations of solar and wind jobs, job postings, and planned solar and wind installations throughout the state. We identify potential misalignments and make recommendations to better align CEJA workforce funding with regional workforce needs.
