Grant Overview

Wyoming's energy sector faces significant workforce shortages, with the state's energy industry employers reporting difficulty recruiting qualified workers. According to the Wyoming Energy Authority, the state's energy workforce is aging, with over 30% of workers nearing retirement. This shortage is particularly acute in rural areas, where energy industry employers often struggle to compete with other sectors for talent.

The energy sector is a critical component of Wyoming's economy, with the industry generating significant revenue for the state. However, the sector's workforce shortages pose a significant challenge to the state's economic development. The grant's in-kind services will help address this challenge by supporting strategic communications and media outreach efforts.

Wyoming's Energy Workforce Landscape

Wyoming's energy workforce is characterized by a mix of experienced professionals and entry-level workers. However, the state's energy industry employers report difficulty recruiting qualified workers, particularly in rural areas. The grant will help address this challenge by promoting the industry's career paths and opportunities, targeting underserved populations and promoting diversity.

Operations Considerations in Wyoming

To qualify for the grant, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of Wyoming's energy workforce landscape and a commitment to promoting the industry's career paths and opportunities. The grant is particularly suited to organizations with experience in workforce development and energy industry outreach. Applicants must also demonstrate the capacity to leverage the grant's in-kind services effectively, using the funding to support strategic communications and media outreach efforts.

Unlike neighboring states like Colorado and Utah, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to its frontier county designation. This requirement reflects the state's unique geography and the challenges of delivering services in rural areas. The grant will be particularly valuable in Wyoming's context, where the energy industry is a critical component of the state's economy.

Implementing the Grant in Wyoming

The grant's in-kind services will be used to support a campaign promoting Wyoming's energy industry career paths and opportunities. The campaign will target underserved populations and promote diversity in the energy workforce. By leveraging the grant's services, Wyoming's energy industry employers will be better able to recruit qualified workers and address the state's workforce shortages.
