CONFERENCE WIFI: CEWD2016

CEWD’s strategy and approach over the past decade has been Industry Solutions for Regional Implementation. The Center has focused on providing its members with workable solutions that align with each of the four strategic pillars: Career Awareness, Workforce Development and Education, Workforce Planning, and Structure and Support. This year, the focus of the CEWD Annual Summit is Strategic Linkage. With a myriad of tools and approaches available, how does it all fit together? And how can you link a number of strategies to improve your outcomes with your target population? During the 2016 Annual Summit, CEWD members will demonstrate how they are strategically linking CEWD resources to improve overall outcomes of their workforce strategies with specific populations.

1:15 pm – 2:35 pm Focus on Diverse PopulationsMany companies use a number of strategies to increase the diversity of their workforce – internships, employee resource groups, mentoring programs, to name a few. Less common are the companies that integrate these practices into a holistic workforce strategy. By consciously thinking through how such practices support the overall company strategy, these organizations grow greater involvement and reach for their effort.

About CEWDThe Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) is a non-profit consortium of electric, natural gas, and nuclear utilities; their associations—the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), American Gas Association (AGA), American Public Power Association (APPA), Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA); and their unions—the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the Utility Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO (UWUA).

CEWD was formed to help utilities work together to develop solutions to the coming workforce shortage in the utility industry. It is the first partnership among utilities, their associations, contractors, and unions to focus on the need to build a skilled workforce pipeline that will meet future energy needs.
