Grant Overview
Wyoming's energy sector faces significant workforce development challenges, particularly in rural areas where labor shortages hinder economic development. The state's frontier counties, which account for 23 of Wyoming's 23 counties, present unique challenges due to their extreme rural nature and limited infrastructure. Energy industry employers in Wyoming struggle to recruit and retain workers, particularly from underrepresented groups such as women and minorities, who are significantly underrepresented in the sector. Wyoming's vocational training programs must be tailored to address these challenges, with a focus on recruiting and retaining underrepresented groups. Eligible applicants include educational institutions and nonprofit organizations with experience in energy sector workforce development. Unlike neighboring Colorado, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to its frontier county designation. Funding will support programs that provide critical vocational training in areas such as oil and gas operations, renewable energy technologies, and energy efficiency. Wyoming's energy workforce development needs are distinct due to the state's low population density and vast geographic distances between training centers and job sites. Successful applicants will demonstrate their ability to adapt training programs to the state's unique energy industry needs. ## Wyoming's Energy Workforce Development Needs ## Readiness Requirements for Wyoming Applicants ## Building a Diverse Energy Workforce in Wyoming
