HWS: Expanding Diversity in Skilled Trade Careers

Heartland Workforce Solutions is sponsoring an Expanding Diversity in Skilled Trade Careers. Powered by Berkshire Hathaway Energy and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: the Stronger Together Initiative. Learn if a career in the energy industry is right for you, and how to prepare yourself to take the first step.

The energy industry is seeking a diverse workforce. Energy employers are especially eager to hire women, people of color, veterans, individuals from the LGBTQ community and people who identify as having a disability. Why? Because energy companies, like all businesses, are strengthened by diversity. The quest to expand diversity in the energy workforce often begins in skilled trade positions, as these are great jobs for people ready to work hard to make a difference in their communities. They are excellent positions for those looking for a high-paying job that can become a career.
