Meet The Moment Campaign:
The how

Here’s what the Meet the Moment Campaign will enable in 2025:

• Robust energy instruction for CTE Educators at established educational gatherings, giving teachers confidence in leading energy-focused coursework and eager to add it to their offerings
• Presentations at and partnerships with educators’ organizations to build excitement about adopting energy curriculum
• Creative PR tactics to excite educators, workforce systems, career seekers and students to Meet the Moment of opportunity (yes, Tik Tok)
• Inventorying open-source energy curriculum and publishing a library of resources to support educators, working toward creation of universal curriculum where existing voids are identified.
• Collaborating with Skills USA to add energy-focused competitions into their national education framework for students interested in trade careers – and showing up at their June conference with a dynamic Energy Careers Discovery Zone experience encouraging students to try out the industry
• Creating another Energy Careers Discovery Zone at the FFA show, tempting 72,000 students to explore energy career path opportunities
• Expanding our presence at the Student Veterans of America conference, driving increased awareness of energy careers to students who have served our country
• Continuing CEWD’s new partnership with DECA, exposing students interested in business careers to opportunities in energy
• Publishing all the how to’s that are needed to help employers work with educators on having energy curriculum brought into their classroom, sharing examples of success from around the country, and creating a community of practitioners to support one another’s actions
• Expansion of “electives” in the Energy Industry Fundamentals Curriculum, offering even greater opportunities through the new educational resource
• Development of a Rent-an-Energy Expert Instructors Bureau to make top quality presenters accessible to all
• Development of summer externship curriculum for CTE instructors
• Creation of travel stipends and scholarships for energy education for CTE instructors at the HS and Post-Secondary levels

And with additional support, we will launch the Energy Skills Academy, the Hire PowHer program and launch the Get Into Energy scholarship program.
