Workforce Planning for Emerging Energy Careers
Regional Strategy and Platform Deployment in the Northeast U.S.
In response to growing demand for clean energy talent, IWNL Energy led a multi-year initiative to strengthen career pathways for 16–25-year-olds across the Northeast. The engagement began with a regional needs assessment to identify key skill gaps and emerging labor demands in offshore wind, solar, and energy storage. In partnership with public schools, workforce boards, and employer coalitions, IWNL deployed the Energy Career Navigator to support early-stage career exploration and interest discovery.
Backend analytics from the platform provided real-time insights into user engagement trends, career interests, and regional variations in awareness informing both program design and resource allocation decisions for participating institutions.
Building on these insights, IWNL developed a credentialing roadmap aligned with foundational workforce competencies and employer input. These 101/102-level learning modules, delivered through the IWNL Energy Institute, were implemented in high schools and community-based training programs. They enabled institutions to embed energy awareness, data-informed planning and resource allocation across participants, and training into their existing systems.
The result: improved alignment between education and workforce needs, data-informed planning across institutions, and scalable infrastructure for long-term talent development in the region.
Mobilizing Skilled Electricians for Offshore Wind
Technical Career Navigation and Union-Led Instruction Model
IWNL Energy partnered with union leadership to deliver a sector-specific offshore wind (OSW) training and career navigation initiative for experienced electricians. Rather than reskilling, this initiative focused on translating existing expertise into offshore wind applications accelerating sector entry through clarity, context, and credential alignment.
A customized version of the Energy Career Navigator was developed with algorithmic adjustments to reflect task-level competencies, high-voltage systems, and marine-specific electrical requirements. These refinements ensured that electricians could see clear, technically valid pathways into OSW roles such as commissioning technician, electrical interconnection specialist, and offshore substation lead.
IWNL’s industry experts facilitated a multi-day in-person course series on OSW operations, safety, and project lifecycle fundamentals. Simultaneously, a Train-the-Trainer (TTT) model was delivered to union instructors, equipping them with IWNL's curriculum, digital platform tools, and instructional guidance building internal capacity for ongoing delivery.
The result: A technically rigorous, union-integrated model for helping career professionals enter the offshore wind industry with confidence, context, and continuity.
Turning Workforce Data into Actionable Insight
Enabling Strategic Decisions with Real-Time Career Intelligence
To support institutions in translating user behavior into workforce strategy, IWNL Energy developed a data visualization and analytics dashboard powered by the backend of the Energy Career Navigator (ECN). This dashboard provided leadership teams with real-time insights into platform usage, regional career interest trends, training demand signals, and engagement metrics across partner sites.
Institutions were able to view disaggregated data on interest clusters by role, sector, and skill level, helping them identify which energy pathways were resonating with students, jobseekers, and transitioning workers. These insights informed curriculum adjustments, program marketing, and investment decisions for training expansion.
The dashboard also enabled cross-site comparisons, allowing workforce boards, training organizations, and school systems to benchmark interest levels and pathway traction across communities.
The result: A strategic planning tool that gave institutional leaders and workforce partners visibility into emerging trends and data-informed direction for aligning programs to energy workforce needs.
Navigating Solar Careers with Precision
Digital Career Navigation for the Solar Industry
IWNL Energy deployed a customized version of its Energy Career Navigator (ECN) to strengthen early-stage career exploration and institutional planning across the solar workforce ecosystem. Designed for both individuals and organizations, the platform guided users through sector selection, interest discovery, and personalized solar career pathways.
Tailored to the solar industry, ECN featured roles across manufacturing, installation, operations, and system design. Users were able to assess transferable skills, explore aligned opportunities, and connect to relevant training programs all within a structured, user-driven experience.
On the institutional side, ECN’s backend analytics dashboard delivered real-time insights into learner interest trends, regional demand indicators, and engagement metrics. These data outputs helped schools, workforce boards, and training partners optimize curriculum design, outreach strategies, required grant report metrics, and investment planning.
The result: A strategic digital tool that enables both individuals and institutions to align exploration, training, and workforce readiness in the rapidly expanding solar energy sector.
