This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the California Energy and Utility Workforce Consortium. Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG&E) program called PowerPathway is presented and has the following vision: build capacity in California to produce the skilled workers needed by PG&E and the energy industry. Program components include: working through communities to attract the right people with the right skills at the right time; preparing for retirement and diversity trends, and a carbon-constrained future; generating early interest in Science/Technology/Engineering/Math (STEM) pathways and career technical education; and, guiding cities and municipalities on best practices to create a green workforce.
