Vineyard Power is working on a few initiatives to encourage career pathways in renewable energy. A sustainable workforce in climate-positive industries is key to building economic resilience. Here are some updates from Vineyard Power:
- Vineyard Power is working with schools to discussion renewable energy and energy efficiency with an focus on career pathways for older students.
- Vineyard Power is collaborating with ACE MV to explore the possibility of establishing an on-island certification and/or training program for HVAC installers.
In other Economic Resilience news, the MVC drafted an initial analysis to identify funding needs and potential sustainable finance mechanisms that could be developed in response to climate change (e.g. resilience fee for tourists).
