Pearson announced a partnership between its Connections Academy and the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD). This collaboration aims to expand career-connected learning opportunities for Connections Academy students, helping them explore pathways into the energy sector.
The U.S. energy industry is projected to hire millions of new and replacement workers over the next decade, driven by AI, data center expansion, and increased energy consumption. This partnership addresses the demand for a prepared, future-ready workforce in areas like engineering and skilled trades.
A cornerstone of this partnership is the Energy Industry Fundamentals 2.0 (EIF 2.0) curriculum, a 120-hour virtual course offering foundational knowledge about energy and career path opportunities. Students who complete the program earn an industry-recognized credential, enhancing their competitiveness for internships and jobs in the energy sector.
