Title
Energy Education and Workforce Development RFI
Description
If the Center for Energy Workforce Development has it right, 40% to 60% of the energy utility workforce could be eligible to retire in 2012. And according to the NREL, one of the leading barriers to renewable energy and energy-efficiency growth today is a shortage of training and skills. Put it all together and it’s a remarkably grim forecast for an industry undergoing a massive and demanding transformation. That’s why the DOE’s Applied Energy Office is asking for your help. It has posted this RFI seeking input from stakeholders on scope and priorities for its education and workforce development activities. There’s no money involved; just a chance to do your bit to make the world a cleaner one.
