The Workforce Talent Race

Hosted by Paul Douglas, President & Co-Founder, JPI Group & CareerEquity

About This Webinar

The talent race is already here.

Utilities are competing against contractors. Contractors are competing against state programs. State programs are competing against each other. And everyone is fighting for the same shrinking pool of qualified technical workers.

The result: programs with funding and mandate are stalling. Training pipelines are producing graduates who aren’t job-ready. And the communities with the most to gain from clean energy careers are the last to benefit.

On April 9th at 12 PM ET, JPI Group & Career Equity are bringing together the practitioners who are winning this race — not theorizing about it.

What We’ll Cover

  • What winning talent strategies look like on the ground — from a $200M federal program to a 28-year institutional model
  • How to reach the talent pools traditional recruiting consistently misses
  • Building programs that outlast funding cycles and political shifts
  • The retention problem nobody talks about — and how to solve it
  • Live polls and Q&A with the panel

Who Should Watch

HR directors, utility workforce leads, workforce development boards, training providers, community college administrators, state energy offices, and C-suite executives who see talent as a strategic risk.
