The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) is a non-profit consortium that brings together electric, natural gas, nuclear, and renewable energy companies along with industry associations to support the development of a skilled and diverse energy workforce. Based in Washington, DC, CEWD coordinates efforts to strengthen workforce strategies, expand talent pipelines, and address workforce challenges facing the energy sector. Its activities target utilities and related organizations, aiming to align education and training with evolving industry needs and to broaden access to energy careers through initiatives such as educational tools and curriculum resources. The organization operates within the utilities industry, functioning as a collaborative hub that connects industry players, associations, and workforce development initiatives. In 2026 it introduced two new programs—the CEWD Consulting Network and the Get Into Energy Explorer—to help energy companies enhance workforce development and assist students and job seekers in discovering relevant career paths. CEWD also engages in partnerships and program expansions, including new educational modules and scholarship initiatives, to support a broader and more inclusive energy workforce.
