Energy Efficiency Services Sector Workforce Education and Training Needs

This report provides a baseline assessment of the current state of energy efficiency-related education and training programs and analyzes training and education needs to support expected growth in the energy efficiency services workforce. In the last year, there has been a significant increase in funding for “green job” training and workforce development (including energy efficiency), through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Key segments of the energy efficiency services sector (EESS) have experienced significant growth during the past several years, and this growth is projected to continue and accelerate over the next decade.

Green Jobs: Definitions and Analysis

The LMI Training Institute held a webinar series discussion green jobs. This webinar is the first of several webinars and focuses on the definition of green jobs. Policy makers around the country are focusing on the Green Economy, posing challenges to LMI staff in terms of how to best define what a green job is, and how to quantify the number of green jobs in their state. With no boilerplate to follow, states are taking on this challenge in different ways. This session will provide examples of how states are using surveys and other research methods to quantify green jobs, and the ways in which green job definitions vary state-to-state. The panel will be made up of individuals running these studies at the state level. Presenters include: Bonnie Graybill, Deputy Division Chief, Porgram and Local Information Section, California Labor Market Information Division Rick Waclawek, Director, LMI & Strategic Initiatives, Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth

Defining Green Industries, Business, Occupations, and Jobs

Workshop - Projections (PMP - CO)

State LMI Improvement through Projections Infrastructure Modernization Alex Hall, Director, Labor Market Information Department, Colorado Department of Labor and Employment The Projections Consortium proposes to 1) modernize the Projections Suite and the Projections Training Program to improve and sustain states’ ability to provide information on current and future industry and occupation demand, 2) develop new tools and training to allow states to routinely provide information on current and future skills demand developed in the context of the O*NET framework, 3) provide enhancements to current tools and training and include features in new tools and training to allow states to provide information on current and future demand of green industries, occupations and skills, and 4) develop a plan for efficient delivery of a multi modal approach to projections training. The outcome of this effort will be a modernized Projections infrastructure. This infrastructure will provide the nation’s employment statistics system with the capacity and tools to deliver routinely refreshed current and future demand information on industries, occupations, and skills specific to the green economy. Workforce system, education, and economic development partners will have timely, comprehensive intelligence on the green economy to integrate into the labor exchange system.

New Mexico Green Jobs Cabinet Report

New Mexico has released the Green Jobs Cabinet Report which identified five major goals necessary for maximizing the state’s green economy potential, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and green workforce education. The Governor also issued an executive order which directs state agencies to help meet these goals. For example, the Department of Workforce Solutions will be asked to convene a Green Industry Council to help establish curricula in the public education system, among other tasks. The governor has also announced the release of a Green Jobs Guidebook, which provides information on green careers, education requirements and opportunities as well as other resources for those seeking green economy jobs.
