| U.S. Department of Energy Funds the Efforts of Seven Non-Profit Educational Organizations to Build the Pipeline for Tomorrow's Energy Workforce | | | Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected seven non-profit educational organizations to receive up to $300,000 each in funding, as part of its Clean Energy Careers for All (CEC4A) program. CEC4A was created to support organizations' programs that promote awareness and interest in clean energy careers among K–12 and university students, alumni and academic professionals, veterans, and formerly incarcerated individuals. Selected programs span work-based learning opportunities such as internships, career coaching and mentorship, education and curriculum development, and career exposure initiatives. "Partnering with organizations who are already doing outstanding work to attract a wide variety of talent to STEM-focused careers in energy innovation is one of the best ways DOE can support the development of the necessary workforce to secure America's resilient energy future," said Susan Hamm, Integrated Strategies Office Director for DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. | | | |
