Get into Energy- Nebraska, sponsored by the Nebraska Energy Workforce Consortium (NEWC), is an inclusive group of electric and natural gas energy providers- utilities, cooperatives, municipalities, and their associations; educational institutions; and government stakeholders whose purpose is to identify current and future energy industry workforce needs and establish strategies to recruit and sustain a qualified, diverse energy workforce throughout Nebraska. Our primary goal is to have a qualified and diverse pool of workers who have the right knowledge and skills to enter critical energy industry positions at the right time. To accomplish this, our primary objectives are to:
- Increase awareness among students, parents, educators, and non-traditional workers of the critical need for a skilled energy workforce and the educational opportunities that can lead to energy careers.
- Create clearly defined education solutions that link industry-recognized competencies and credentials to employment opportunities and advancement in the energy industry.
