The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) launched Energy Industry Fundamentals 2.0 program (EIF 2.0), a 120-hour curriculum that educates high school and technical school students about energy and careers within the industry.
Alongside industry educators and representatives from energy businesses, CEWD worked to modernize the long-established EIF curriculum to ensure the preparedness of a skilled, diverse energy workforce. The program aims to provide expanded energy education to 500,000 students over the next 10 years.
The free, virtual course offers units that explore the power of energy. Its labs and interactive exercises connect students with foundational learnings about energy and career opportunities. Students who successfully complete the program can earn industry-recognized credentials with the option of earning additional stackable credentials through the program’s supplemental modules. These credentials provide students with a competitive advantage when applying for internships or jobs.
The EIF course connects with almost all learning management systems. Educators, community-based organizations, and others interested in bringing energy education into their classrooms have complimentary access to the EIF curriculum and its associated resources, including curriculum training support.
EIF 2.0 was created in partnership with CEWD’s energy and community educators: Center Point Energy, Constellation, Duke Energy, Exelon, National Urban League, and PSEG.
