Building an Equitable Cleantech Workforce in NY & NJ
The clean energy transition depends on a skilled and diverse workforce—especially in advanced STEM roles like energy systems, climate modeling, and sustainable infrastructure. But in New York and New Jersey, the current talent pipeline isn’t keeping up.
Work on Climate’s new report, “Landscape Analysis: Building an Equitable Advanced STEM Cleantech Workforce in NY & NJ,” was developed in collaboration with 20+ local employers, educators, government agencies, and workforce organizations. It maps the current landscape and identifies where action is most needed.
In this report, you’ll uncover:
- Why NY & NJ face critical shortages in diverse, advanced-degree cleantech talent
- 10 key barriers holding back the STEM workforce pipeline—and what’s being done about them
- How regional stakeholders are collaborating to build a more equitable, future-ready workforce
This is a roadmap for coordinated action. If you’re shaping the future of cleantech in NY, NJ, or beyond—start here.
