DE&I ROADMAP for Change

In a move to create more diverse, equitable, and inclusive energy workplaces, the Center for Energy Workforce Development and its partners published the DE&I Roadmap for Industry Change.

 The Roadmap was part of a multi-year initiative to support the industry’s efforts to ensure a diverse workforce and a sector recognized for its commitment to equity and inclusion practices.  More than 200 people influenced the creation of the Roadmap through participation in DE&I Listening Sessions led by DiversityInc in the fall of 2021, submission of crowd-sourced information in the summer of 2022, and leadership of the publication and associated resources over two years’ time. Those who were engaged represented gas, electric, nuclear, and renewable energy companies, including investor-owned utilities, public power and gas companies, electric cooperatives, contractors, and skilled labor.

 This document was intended to offer a look at why a commitment to DE&I is essential in the energy sector and what actions were to be explored by companies, union partners, and the industry as a unified force. It was followed by years of support in delivering the how, which came through educational offerings, toolkits, best practice sharing, partnership development, data and metric insights, and more.

 It was intended that all energy companies, regardless of their size or where they were on their DE&I journey, would find ideas, encouragement, and opportunities from this DE&I Roadmap for Industry Change.
