Growth in the energy industry is outpacing the skilled workforce needed to meet the demands of employers. In order to meet this need, we must create more jobs and transition works into the clean energy workforce. This will require dedicated workforce development that mobilizes regional partnerships to provide hands-on training and industry-specific knowledge.
The MACH2 team is poised to train the new energy workforce by mobilizing a coalition of committed stakeholders that includes regional workforce and economic development boards, training and service providers, organized labor and community and equity advisors as well as educational institutions.
Our focus is the development of equitable and inclusive career pathways ranging from micro-credentialing, stackable credentials, apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships in addition to 2- and 4- year degrees.
MACH2 is the only hub that is largely led by organized labor. The MACH2 leadership team is also engaged with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) labor unions across communities to ensure effective reskilling and pathways to hydrogen industry jobs and career opportunities.
Our educational institutions - including the University of Delaware, Rowan University, the University of Pennsylvania and the oldest HBCU Cheyney University are actively collaborating to develop relevant educational curricula and training programs for future workers of both mid- and high-skill energy economy positions.
MACH2's focus on identifying areas of strategic alignment and prioritizing energy sector jobs in need of training together with our workforce development partners and energy sector partners will ensure that we create pathways to well-paying jobs with a focus on historically underserved communities.
We are thrilled to announce that MACH2 and DESCA have partnered to offer the MACH2 Membership program. Join today, become a member of the hydrogen ecosystem, and join us for the first MACH2 Meet-Up on June 26th!
