New Partnership Unlocks Pathways to High-Paying Careers in Clean Energy

AEE partners with The Climate Reality Project to expand access to skills training for tomorrow’s clean energy workforce..

The Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) today announced a partnership with The Climate Reality Project to help people (especially non-engineers) gain skills required for high paying careers working in the clean energy economy. Through this collaboration, Climate Reality’s community and the public can access AEE’s on-demand as well as in-person training (such as the Certified Energy Manager program) that help individuals learn valuable, tangible skills to reduce energy and emissions, while helping organizations become more cost-competitive. Since its founding in 1981, AEE has trained over 100,000 individuals worldwide.

“We are thrilled to partner with Climate Reality to empower individuals with the training and credentials that employers around the world recognize,” said Bill Kent, Executive Director of AEE. “Together, we can build the skilled workforce needed to reach global climate and clean energy goals.”

“Everywhere I go, I meet people who want to be part of the global movement to solve the climate crisis. They are seeking the skills, the knowledge, and the job opportunities to become changemakers. I couldn’t be more proud that Climate Reality is partnering with AEE to empower our Climate Reality Leaders to seize the incredible opportunity provided by the sustainable economy.” said The Climate Reality Project Founder and Chairman, former US Vice President Al Gore.

“Connecting our network with AEE helps ensure that more people—whether they’re recent graduates, mid-career professionals, or community leaders—can gain the skills they need to join and thrive in the clean energy economy,” said Phyllis Cuttino, President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project.

As a part of the partnership, AEE has developed a special roadmap/decision tree so that individuals within the Climate Reality community can identify training options that are best for each person. To learn more and explore training options, visit: CJobs.org
