CEWD Update August 2008
CEWD Mission Build the alliances, processes, and tools to develop tomorrow’s energy workforce
Career Awareness Career Awareness Goals • Expand the Get Into Energy website. • Implement communication templates and the Get Into Energy branding campaign. • Assess messagingfor diverse communitiesincluding the Hispanic population
Career Awareness Get into Energy Website • Initial focus on 4 key jobs – Lineworker, Plant Operator, Technician, Pipefitter / Pipelayer • Career assessment tool • Career profiles, skills, education required • Google map for education and job locations • Creating short film on Nuclear, Natural Gas, Coal • Parents and Educators sections • Student section under construction www.getintoenergy.com
Career Awareness Get Into Energy Branding • New Get Into Energy logo, “look and feel” created • Initial templates include a brochure, poster and presentation to be used by energy companies for their individual recruitment efforts • Communication Council provided advice and assistance • Materials tested through focus groups • “ShopCEWD” Website currently available
Workforce Development and Education Workforce Development Goals • Complete Energy Competency Modeland develop implementation tool kit. • Update curriculum data base with model curriculum for each key job category. • Align energy career pathwayswith national standards of practice. • Provide support to curriculum consortiums.

Workforce Development and Education Education Initiatives • Model Curriculum • Data base now require utility partner • Developing best practice data base • Curriculum Consortiums • ESTEC • Great Lakes Nuclear Consortium • Nuclear Common Curriculum • IBEW Training Centers • MEA Lineworker Consortium
Workforce Planning and Metrics Workforce Planning and Metrics Goals • Identify and assess additional job categories • Assess renewables / alternative energy workforce implications • Conduct 2008 CEWD Workforce Surveyand expand to include supply data. • Assess workforce demand and issues for engineers and leverage current initiatives with IEEE and other entities. • Design and implement workforce development metrics to measure the success of industry and regional initiatives.
Workforce Planning and Metrics 2008 Nationwide Workforce Survey • Currently collecting data • Supply data will be prepared for each state CEWD Region, and national • Did not include nuclear power industry or supplemental labor • Results will be available in September
Workforce Planning and Metrics Workforce Metrics Focus • Increased awareness among students, parents, educators, and government of: • the critical need for skilled technical workers in the energy field and • the opportunities for education that can lead to entry level employment • Increased number of successful training and education programswith curriculum to support energy pathways • Increased enrollment in and graduation to meet the demand for better educated and technically skilled entry level workers • A sufficient supply of qualified, diverse applicants
Member Value and Support Membership Value and Support Goals • Identify model processes and develop solution guides. • Conduct quarterly Quick Solutions Webinars. • Implement communities of practicefor workforce development activities. • Conduct the 2008 Annual Summit, sponsor regional forumsand supportstate consortiumdevelopment.
Member Value and Support Industry Solutions • Toolkit created for Energy and Construction Career Academy; solution guide completed for Work Readiness Certification • Quick Solutions Webinar series - Career Clusters, Energy Competency Model • Communities of Practice to be launched at 2008 Summit • State Consortiums – 14 consortiums, 3 states in progress,4 additional states participating in discussions • Regional Forums • March 19 – 20 – West Region • March 31 – Southeast Region • May 19 – 20 – Mid-Atlantic Region • June 26 – 27 – Northwest Region • August 25 – 26 – Midwest Region • September – Northeast Region • December – South Region • 2008 Annual Summit – October 6-8 in Orlando
Best Practice: State Energy Consortiums Member Value and Support Education Workforce State EnergyIndustry
Purpose of State Consortiums“Grow your own” • Identify energy workforce issues for state. • Partner to improve and/ or create training programs. • Build awareness of the need for energy workers. • Create a sense of excitement around the energy industry in the state.
What are the roles? • Collaboration - Shared Goals - Shared Resources
Current State Energy Consortiums • Alabama • Florida • Georgia • Louisiana • Maryland • Mississippi • North Carolina • South Carolina • Tennessee • Texas • Virginia • Indiana • Missouri • Pennsylvania • California • Ohio (planning) • Michigan (planning) • West Virginia (planning)
