Grant Overview
Wyoming's energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the growth of renewable energy technologies and the decline of traditional fossil fuel industries. The state's energy workforce training needs are critical, with a target to train 500 workers within two years to support the development of wind, solar, and energy efficiency projects. Wyoming's energy workforce is predominantly composed of male workers, with Native American tribes being underrepresented in the industry. The state's energy sector is also marked by a high level of workforce turnover, with many workers requiring retraining in new technologies. Wyoming's vocational training programs are being developed in partnership with local community colleges, such as Casper College, to provide training in emerging energy technologies. The state's energy workforce training programs prioritize the needs of incumbent workers, as well as new entrants to the labor market. Unlike neighboring Colorado, Wyoming's energy workforce training programs require demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation. Wyoming's energy sector is also characterized by a high level of geographic dispersion, with workers often located in remote areas with limited access to training facilities. Eligible applicants include energy sector employers, local workforce development organizations, and community colleges. ## Wyoming's Energy Workforce Training Needs ## Training Programs for Emerging Energy Technologies ## Energy Workforce Development in Wyoming's Frontier Counties
