The US faces labor shortages in skilled trades in the coming decades. According to figures from New Yorker magazine, CNBC and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, we willneed tens of thousands more electricians than we currently have or train to meet the demands of the electrical grid and EV production. HVAC technicians and other construction trades (carpenters, plumbers, etc.) face similar shortages.
Training programs, upskilling workers, encouraging vocational training as a viable path for students, and hiring programs with employers will all be needed to address these shortages.
These good-paying jobs create opportunities for non-traditional students and in communities that are at risk of being left behind in the electrification transformation.
