Looking for new sources of skilled job candidates in clean energy?
Hiring diverse candidates can significantly enhance your company’s ROI, innovation, and resilience. Partnering with minority-serving institutions (MSIs) is a key strategy to increase your organization’s ability to recruit top-tier talent with unique perspectives and experiences.
Please explore building a relationship with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribal Colleges, Hispanic Serving institutions, trade associations, and apprenticeship partners linked below to build a pipeline to diverse talent in the clean energy sector.
HBCUs
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States founded prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They were established primarily to serve the African American community and continue to serve as centers of academic excellence, cultural preservation, and community upliftment. HBCUs may offer a rich pool of skilled candidates and contribute to diversity in the renewable energy industry.
Tribal Colleges
Tribal colleges are institutions of higher education primarily located on or near Native American reservations in the United States. These colleges serve Native American communities, offering culturally relevant education and providing opportunities for indigenous students to pursue higher education while maintaining their cultural identity. These institutions may provide a unique talent pool for the clean energy sector.
Hispanic Serving Institutions
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) have a Hispanic student enrollment of at least 25%. HSIs play a fundamental role in supporting Hispanic students’ academic journey by providing culturally affirming environments and community empowerment. Engaging with HSIs can help clean energy companies access a diverse talent pool and foster community empowerment.
Building partnerships with these institutions helps recruit diverse talent and advances equity within the clean energy sector.
