Florida Energy Workforce
 
Formed in 2006 and organized by Workforce Florida, Inc., the Florida Energy Workforce Consortium (FEWC) uses five specific committees to make sure that their goals of developing current and future workforce needs in the energy industry in the state of Florida are always met. The FEWC is comprised of some of the top leaders in major electric utilities, organized labor, contractors, state economic development, education, and workforce development all working together to pinpoint current and future energy needs as well as focus on educational and recruiting efforts.
The five committees utilized by the FEWC include:
  1. Career Awareness: Making the next generation aware of the high-paying job opportunities that are in the energy industry and giving the energy industry in general an overall improved image.
  2. Funding and Resources: Using all available funds and resources to tackle the most important challenges that lie ahead in the energy industry.
  3. Policy and Education: Enforcing energy industry specific education and training in secondary and post-secondary levels and also utilize the knowledge of the existing workforce to transfer to entry level workers.
  4. Untapped Labor Source: Attracting and recruiting new workers from sources never before considered.
  5. State and National Outreach: Working with the state and national community to raise awareness of the pending energy industry workforce shortage to help avoid a disastrous scenario that would affect the citizens and businesses of the state of Florida and beyond.
By constantly expanding its membership to include more contractors, their associates and affiliates, as well as labor organizers, the FEWC will ensure that the workforce needs of the state of Florida in the energy industry will always be met and that the future workforce will be as well trained as possible.
