To combat climate change, we need to invest heavily in developing and retaining a well-trained, highly qualified workforce to install renewable energy sources, retrofit buildings, expand public transportation, and take on other critical tasks.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build out clean energy and other climate-friendly measures, and to train both new and existing workers for the opportunities that lie ahead.
This discussion will draw on the expertise of labor leaders, policy makers, and workforce development professionals to examine opportunities presented by the IRA and offer guidance on how to use these investments to build a diverse and equitable clean energy economy.
