Workforce Needs
Two key pieces of legislation, and the subsequent federal funding to support them, are projected to create new green jobs in the coming months and years. Key workforce development programs are needed to train and prepare the workforce for these opportunities. There are several key programs launched that align with AEE’s existing programs and areas of expertise.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
- Building Training and Assessment Centers Program
- Career Skills Training Program
- Energy Auditor Training Grant Program
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
- Training for Residential Energy Contractors Program (TREC)
The creation of the new jobs being created by this important programs coupled with information obtained in AEE’s Market Trends Survey published in 2023, which indicated that in every region globally over 75% of respondents felt there is a shortage of energy efficiency professionals and nearly 40% indicated they will be retiring within the next 5-10 years, provides us with a clear vision that capacity building and workforce development is of critical importance.
