STATE CONSORTIA OVERVIEW
National Solutions. Regional Implementation. Nowhere is this CEWD ideology more evident than within State Energy Workforce Consortia. Consortia are strategic partnerships between the energy industry, education, workforce systems, and others who work together to define a state’s or region’s talent needs and develop solutions to meet those needs. Consortia are active in approximately 20 states across the country, and other states are in the process of forming them.
RESOURCES FOR CONSORTIA
Recognizing the importance of stakeholders from industry, academia, and workforce systems collaborating to address local workforce needs, CEWD supports the formation and operation of energy consortia.
We have a host of resources available to support consortia at all levels of their operation, from those that are just starting out to those that are mature and have a proven track record of success. For instance, we have information on how to incorporate, effective means of establishing partnerships, strategic planning templates, establishing the new Energy and Natural Resources Career Cluster.
CEWD members can access tools and resources for consortia here.
Each year prior to our annual CEWD Workforce Development Summit, CEWD hosts a national meeting for consortia leaders to share ideas and best practices.
If your state does not have a state consortium and you are interested in forming one, contact [email protected].
