Training and Hiring Local Talent While Supporting Local Businesses and Supply Chains

Empowering Local Economies Through Energy Projects

Energy projects don’t just drive sustainability; they also have the potential to strengthen local economies. By prioritizing local talent and businesses, energy implementors can create jobs, foster innovation, and build stronger communities.

Barriers to Local Workforce and Business Participation

• Limited Training Opportunities: Many communities lack access to the specialized training needed for energy jobs.
• Disparities in Access: Small businesses and underrepresented groups often face barriers to entry in the energy sector.

Why Supporting Local Talent and Businesses Matters

Investing in local resources creates a ripple effect of benefits:

• Economic Growth: Keeping resources within the community boosts local economies.
• Workforce Development: Training local talent provides sustainable career opportunities.
• Stronger Supply Chains: Partnering with local businesses builds resilience and reduces project costs.

Examples of Local Empowerment

Some initiatives have successfully integrated local supply chains into major energy projects, creating jobs and reducing logistical challenges. Training programs for underrepresented communities have also paved the way for more inclusive growth in the sector.

How Collaboration Drives Success

Collaborative efforts are key to empowering local communities. Organizations like JPI play a vital role in connecting energy implementors with local talent and businesses. By fostering these connections, they help create a sustainable ecosystem that benefits everyone involved.
