Request for Proposals: Clean Energy Career Awareness Resources

In recognition of the projected growth of the clean energy workforce needed to meet the Commonwealth’s 2030 climate targets, the MassCEC is taking steps across the Commonwealth to collaborate with secondary and post-secondary institutions and programs—including, but not limited to, Innovation Pathways, CTE schools, MassCEC Equity Workforce programs, community colleges and comprehensive schools — to expand the pipeline of new clean energy workers and meet the growing needs of employers. MassCEC is seeking one or more consultants to develop clean energy career awareness resources to support increasing awareness around clean energy careers. These clean energy career awareness resources will be implemented across the above-listed programs with expansion into other programs and institutions to follow. 

The MassCEC is prioritizing students’ learning about climate-critical jobs through effective instructional practices inclusive of all learners across the state, and is seeking an effective, engagingly designed curriculum enriched by interactive learning materials and videos profiling clean energy careers. The goals of these expanded clean energy career awareness resources are to: 

• Educate students about the fundamentals of clean energy (high-performance buildings, clean transportation, offshore wind, net-zero grid)

• Increase awareness of clean energy career pathways

• Highlight clean energy career opportunities
