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 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
