GET INVOLVED

Collaboration is the name of the game for CEWD members. We pride ourselves in being the industry’s one stop destination for answers, insight, and resources for the energy sector’s workforce development needs. CEWD’s Community Groups support all of those needs and then some. They were created to spark innovation, “a-ha” moments, and create comfortable networking and note-comparison spaces.

If you are a CEWD member and want to build your personal network, join a Community Group. Each will meet approximately once per quarter and will encourage off-line networking among participants between meetings.

2025 Community Groups
