Jobs in the renewable energy sector are not just limited to manufacturing and installation. The industry’s expansion is projected to generate employment opportunities across diverse segments, including research and development, project management, grid integration, energy storage, and maintenance. A huge key to success in job creation will be reskilling the current workforce. The rapid growth of clean energy jobs over the last two years plus the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provisions – expected to boost annual wind and solar supply by more than double over the next few years – lead to the need for workforce professionals to adapt in order to keep up with the drive in massive job creation.

Did you know there is potential for more than 1.6 million new jobs to be created across America by the year 2030 to help build the country’s clean energy future? Of those 1.6 million jobs, some of the highest rates of job growth can be expected to come from Alaska, Wyoming, and Nevada. The states of California, Florida, and Texas will have the most job potential overall due to higher working-age populations.
