Workforce Development

We actively promote clean energy career opportunities to transitioning service members through targeted outreach efforts designed to showcase the diverse and rewarding pathways available within the sector. Our volunteer network, comprised of veterans already working in clean energy, engages with these individuals at military installations, job fairs, and veteran-focused events within local communities and student veteran programs. This peer-to-peer connection provides valuable insights and firsthand perspectives on the industry. Furthermore, we maintain connections with veterans post-service to facilitate their transition into the clean energy sector, offering mentorship and guidance as they navigate the job market.  For those seeking connections with specific companies, we offer access to our extensive network of members employed within those organizations, as well as established contacts within company veteran employee resource groups.  

Community Building

We facilitate networking opportunities for veterans in the clean energy sector through a variety of events and activities.  We encourage you to participate in our webinars and hosted events.  If you are unable to attend a scheduled event, we can provide guidance and resources for hosting your own gathering to connect with local veterans in clean energy.  For a additional upcoming events and engagement opportunities, please join our Slack community and connect with our community leaders.

Regional Industry Volunteers

Several of our members volunteer their time and energy to support clean energy projects in their region. We will even support their travel expenses to go out regularly to build relationships and meet other veterans in project areas. Supporting projects is a local issue and needs hyperlocal veterans to stand up and speak out on behalf of clean energy.

Showing Up

Active engagement is crucial for veterans seeking to thrive in the clean energy sector.  One of the most impactful ways to support both the industry and your own career is through consistent presence and participation.  Building a strong professional network is essential for career advancement, mentorship opportunities, and industry insights, and simply showing up is often half the battle.  We encourage veterans to actively participate in a variety of events, including webinars, community meetings, public forums, and industry conferences.  These gatherings provide invaluable opportunities to connect with fellow veterans already working in clean energy, establish new professional relationships, and expand your network.  By consistently engaging with the community, you not only demonstrate your commitment to the sector but also position yourself for new opportunities and collaborations, ultimately contributing to your own success and the growth of the clean energy industry as a whole.  Furthermore, active participation allows you to stay informed about industry trends, emerging technologies, and policy developments, ensuring you remain at the forefront of this dynamic field.

Speaking Up

Sharing the experience of veterans in the industry is critical to educating and informing people about what it's really like to work in clean energy. Too often the narrative gets hijacked as a wedge political issue. The truth is that veterans come to clean energy more often than almost any other industry sector, bringing our discipline, drive, and excellence to an industrial sector that is the foundation of the American economy.
