Clean Energy
Clean Energy Sector Partnership is an industry-led, community-supported workforce development collaborative that builds a local, skilled talent pipeline for Hawaii’s high-growth clean energy sector and strengthens our local economy.
About the Program
The Clean Energy Sector Partnership brings industry leaders, secondary and post-secondary educators, government officials and community partners together for collective action to build Hawaii’s Kindergarten-to-Career clean energy talent pipeline.
Together, our goal is to improve student preparedness and increase the overall number of students in the clean energy pipeline to better meet the future demand for clean energy professionals in Hawai’i.
Hawaii State Energy Office, as a subsidiary of Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism serves as sector convener with support from Chamber of Commerce Hawaii, Department of Labor & Industrial Relations and AE Consulting.
We work closely with University of Hawaii and Hawaii Department of Education. Good Jobs Hawaii provides critical support for the Clean Energy Sector Partnership.
