Workshop on Advancing the Discussion of Hydropower Workforce Development: Identifying Industry Priorities
10 a.m.–12 p.m. PT, Oct. 18, 2022, Sacramento, California
During the National Hydropower Association’s Clean Currents 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office, National Renewable
Energy Laboratory, and Hydropower Foundation will co-host an in-person forum to discuss
how industry can help address urgent hydropower workforce needs. Experts from industry
and the national labs will facilitate discussions to determine next steps and identify
partnerships for current and future workforce efforts. The workshop will also identify
a framework for knowledge transfer and succession planning to prepare the industry
for a new wave of workers.
Registration for the Clean Currents conference is not required but strongly recommended.
