What Get Into Energy does

Get Into Energy is a workforce development initiative operated by the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit consortium of major US energy companies headquartered in Washington, DC. Founded in 2016, the platform connects job seekers with career opportunities and employer pipelines across the US energy industry — spanning electric utilities, natural gas, and nuclear power subsectors. It serves multiple candidate segments including students, veterans, women, career changers, engineers, and parents/educators, with specialized sub-brands for veterans (Troops to Energy Jobs) and women (Hire PowHER).

The platform delivers a suite of free resources: a Job Board aggregating energy-industry openings, a Career Explorer tool, structured Career Pathways mapping, Apprenticeship listings, Student Scholarships, Energy Curriculum materials, the ENR (Energy, Natural Resources) Career Cluster framework, and EnergyConnector — a direct candidate-to-employer connection service. The underlying technology stack is not disclosed in detail, but functionally the platform operates as a content-and-job-listing destination with employer connection features rather than a sophisticated AI-driven matching system.

The business model is nonprofit member-funded through CEWD consortium dues rather than direct user revenue. Named member companies include Dominion Energy Virginia, Pike Electric, National Grid, Entergy, Georgia Power, and PNM Resources. End-users access resources at no cost; the value proposition for member utilities is a structured talent pipeline addressing the energy sector's skilled labor gap, particularly in lineworker, technical, and engineering roles. No commercial pricing tiers, transaction fees, or revenue-generating products are disclosed, and the unit economics of the platform are not separable from the broader CEWD consortium budget.

Others

• Year Up: A workforce development nonprofit providing training and career pathways for young adults from underserved communities; thematically comparable in nonprofit workforce development model, though broader and not energy-focused.
• Energy.gov Workforce Development Programs: US Department of Energy workforce initiatives, including the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists, fund training and career pathway programs across energy subsectors; adjacent public-sector complement to Get Into Energy's industry-led model.

Emerging players

• SkillsUSA: A nonprofit serving middle school, high school, and college students in career and technical education, with strong overlap to Get Into Energy's student-targeted career exploration, scholarship, and curriculum offerings.
• NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research): NCCER provides standardized craft training curricula and credentialing for construction and energy-adjacent trades, overlapping with Get Into Energy's apprenticeship and curriculum resources for energy construction careers.

Direct peers

• Helmets to Hardhats: A nonprofit that connects military veterans to careers in the construction and skilled trades, including energy; highly comparable to Get Into Energy's Troops to Energy Jobs subsite in mission, target demographic, and free-to-veteran model.
• Tradeswomen Inc: A nonprofit focused on recruiting, retaining, and advancing women in skilled trades, directly comparable to Get Into Energy's Hire PowHER initiative in target demographic and mission alignment.
• International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW): IBEW runs the largest electrical apprenticeship and training infrastructure in North America, directly competing for the same electrician, line worker, and power-system technician talent pool that Get Into Energy routes into energy careers.
• Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD): CEWD is the parent consortium that created and operates Get Into Energy, coordinating major US energy employers on workforce development strategy; it is the most direct comparable as the governing organization behind the platform.

Broad incumbents

• Edison Electric Institute (EEI): EEI is the principal trade association for US investor-owned electric utilities and runs broader workforce policy and advocacy; comparable to Get Into Energy/CEWD's employer-coordination role but at industry-wide scale rather than direct-to-job-seeker delivery.

Regional players

• Powering America (Nuclear Energy Institute): The Nuclear Energy Institute and affiliated programs promote nuclear industry careers and workforce pathways; comparable to Get Into Energy's nuclear subsector coverage though narrower in scope and employer base.
