Benefits of Strong Career Pathway Programs

There are many benefits of cultivating workforce development programs that focus on career pathways in the Energy, Environment, and Utility Sectors (EEU) defined by the California Department of Education. These are a few:

  • Clear workforce pathways enable companies to find trained, skilled workers early, saving time and money on recruitment and onboarding.
  • Opportunities like Career Technical Education programs (CTE) ensure career pathways are illuminated and introduced in critical education years to encourage young students to pursue postsecondary education and certification.
  • Students participating in CTEs are more likely to graduate, attend college, find employment, and earn higher wages.
  • Water and energy sector jobs provide steady, long-term careers that ultimately contribute to the welfare of workers, their families, and to the health of the state’s economy.
