About the session

What’s covered

As carbon-intensive facilities like traditional steel mills are phased out, infrastructure replacement will require employees with different skill sets. Training and education are necessary to bridge the gap for workers transitioning from incumbent systems to new technologies.

This session will explore the critical role of workforce development and labor unions in ensuring a just transition to decarbonization across industries. We will delve into strategies for supporting communities through the transition, training workers for roles in new or updated facilities, and highlighting the opportunity for good-paying jobs in the clean economy. Join us to explore what it means to achieve a sustainable and equitable shift as we revolutionize American manufacturing.
