Workforce Planning and Metrics Goals

 • Identify and assess additional job categories • Assess renewables / alternative energy workforce

implications• Conduct 2008 CEWD Workforce Survey and 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.

 

2008 Pipeline Survey Results

• Larger number of companies participating• Data represents larger number of employees• 2006 – 226,538• 2007 – 267,802• Average age has declined• 2006 - 45.7• 2007 – 45.3• Preliminary results show hiring taking place• Company comparisons for those who participated are being sent

this month.• Update to the Gaps in the Energy Workforce Survey Report will

be available in November.

2008 Pipeline Survey Results

Workforce Supply Reports

National, Regional and State Reports and supporting spreadsheets are now available on the CEWD Member website

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 programs with 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

Membership Value and Support Goals 

• Identify model processes and develop solution guides.

• Conduct quarterly Quick Solutions Webinars.• Implement communities of practice for workforce

development activities. • Conduct the 2008 Annual Summit, sponsor

regional forums and support state consortium development.

Industry Solutions

• Toolkits and solution guides created - Energy Career Academy; Work Readiness Certification; Apprenticeships; Military Recruiting; Untapped Populations; Workforce Supply Analysis

• Quick Solutions Webinar series - Career Clusters, Energy Competency Model; Military Recruiting; Member Update

• Communities of Practice being launched at 2008 Summit• State Consortium Support – 14 consortiums,4 additional

states in planning• Regional Forums – 6 held this year; South postponed until

2009• 2008 Annual Summit – October 6-8 in Orlando

What’s ahead for 2009?

Best Practice: State Energy Consortiums

State

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.

Structure Varies

Consortiums are at different stages of implementation

Who is involved?

What are the roles?

Collaboration - Shared Goals - Shared Resources

Governance Model

• Open membership• Some require committee participation• Some considering dues structure

Current State Energy Consortiums

• Alabama• Florida• Georgia• Louisiana• Maryland• Mississippi• Carolinas• Tennessee• Texas

• Virginia• Indiana• Pennsylvania• Minnesota• California• Missouri (planning)• Ohio (planning)• Michigan (planning)• West Virginia

(planning)

Getting Started

• Resources available through CEWD – Toolkit, drafts of charters, agendas

• Organizing meeting – key parties from Industry, Government, Education

• Charter• Roles and Responsibilities – Leads and

committees• Regular DOL Team Lead calls
