TWO PROJECT CONCEPTS ON SKILLS MATCHING FOR AN EQUITABLE ENERGY TRANSITION. THE UNITED STATES ENERGY SYSTEM IS FACING RAPID CHANGES DUE TO NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND POLICIES DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE A NET-ZERO EMISSIONS ENERGY SYSTEM. THERE ARE RISING CONCERNS OVER POTENTIAL JOB LOSSES, PARTICULARLY AMONG FOSSIL FUEL WORKERS, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOB CREATION IN NEW AND EMERGING ENERGY SECTORS. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE CONSIDERABLE VARIATION ACROSS THE U.S. IN THE EMPLOYMENT IMPACTS OF A CHANGING ENERGY LANDSCAPE, POLICIES MUST BE TAILORED TO LOCAL CONTEXTS. THUS, THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH INTO SKILLS MATCHING IS TO AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCALLY TAILORED POLICIES TO SUPPORT THE U.S. ENERGY WORKFORCE AS IT TRANSITIONS IN THE YEARS AHEAD. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS THE ANALYSIS OF JOB SKILL REQUIREMENTS AND DEVELOP AN INTERACTIVE DATA TOOL THAT WILL HELP WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TRAIN NEW GRADUATES AND FOSSIL FUEL WORKERS TO BUILD SKILLS TO WORK IN CLEAN ENERGY AND OTHER EMERGING SECTORS.
