|Workforce Development|Delivering the Best of Both Worlds
Workforce development issues are unique to each industry. In clean energy, many of these "green" jobs will not be entirely new occupations, but will transform existing occupations and require additional skills training specific to the clean energy industry. Our team brings the best of both worlds to our clients: clean energy expertise and solid workforce development experience.
Our extensive experience includes working with cross-functional teams, as well as stakeholders in both the public and private sectors, to develop solutions to address complex workforce development issues. With experience in biotechnology, telecommunications, and other high-tech industries, our team is uniquely positioned to also offer services to workforce development organizations that address multiple industries.
Facilitating Partnerships: Keeping the Conversations Going
The labor market's constant state of change in the rapidly evolving clean energy industry requires ongoing collaboration and communication.
- Facilitation of partnerships among education, industry, government, unions, and other stakeholders necessary for effective workforce development initiatives.
- Ensuring timely and accurate information flow, whether through established working groups and advisory boards or online communities.
Labor Market Analysis: Going Beyond Labor Market Statistics
Our team enjoys the challenge of going beyond labor market statistics and uncovering the real story behind the numbers.
- Conducting interviews and focus groups with industry executives and other leaders to gather insights into occupations in demand and skill sets required, followed by in-depth interviews with people employed in those occupations.
- Determining where the skills training gaps are that stakeholders can work collaboratively to address.
- Analyzing the issues and trends in the industry that affect employment opportunities.
