Right now we are not building and sustaining this climate workforce pipeline. While there have been past efforts to address workforce shortages, we need a laser focus <em>now<\/em> on growing the climate workforce specifically, if we are to comply with state laws. Through outreach and interviews with employers, workers, educators, Vermont youth and others, we will identify the gaps, barriers and opportunities to grow our climate workforce. This information will be summarized and prioritized to develop an implementation plan with execution beginning next year. We know that reaching our emissions targets will be hard; without workers, it\u2019s impossible. We must focus now on developing this pipeline to capture the opportunity inherent in the climate crisis: meaningful careers that help Vermonters re-invest in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/events-and-initiatives\/2021-ean-summit\/pitches\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"8709\"><em>Return to 2021 EAN Summit \u2013 Pitch Overview Page<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building Vermont\u2019s Climate Workforce to Achieve Vermont&#8217;s GHG Emission Reduction Goals Presented by: State Representative Charlie Kimbell, State Representative Gabrielle Stebbins (Energy Futures Group), State Representative Scott Campbell, Rhoni Basden [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":8709,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8830"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8830"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8872,"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8830\/revisions\/8872"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eanvt.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
