Global Energy Transition

What Global Energy Transition does

Global Energy Transition (GET) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in The Woodlands/Houston, Texas, that supports energy sector workers displaced by the shift to a low-carbon economy. Founded and led by Chairman/CEO Sonia Clayton, the organization operates as a volunteer network of 50+ industry experts who provide career transition services including resume writing, coaching, networking, upskilling/reskilling, AI course access, and business incubation. Its beneficiary base consists of dislocated oil & gas workers, geologists, and related professionals seeking new employment or entrepreneurial opportunities in adjacent sectors.

GET delivers services through a digital hub at getenergyjobs.org (the GET Jobs Portal, course catalog, webinars, and donation platform), educational partnerships (University of Houston, Penn State, Stanford, TopTalent Learning, UNM, Jiva, Teverra), and an annual awards/charity program (now in its third year, 2025) hosted at the Sheraton North Houston. Major energy employers including Entergy, Shell, BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, EDP Renewables, Turner & Townsend, and Signal Energy Constructors post roles and participate as corporate sponsors. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Board of Advisors, Board of Entrepreneurs, Board of Emeritus, and Ambassadors.

The operating model is a hybrid of community-led and event-driven go-to-market: revenue is raised through individual donations (via [email protected]), event ticket sales ($100-$125 per individual, table sponsorships at $1,000), tiered event sponsorships ranging from $1,000 Community Builder to $6,000 Champion, grants administered through the GET Grants program, and referral commissions on partner educational programs. Pricing for learners includes discounted access to TopTalent ($150 with GET25 code vs. $200 MSRP), University of Houston Hydrogen Economy ($1,975 vs. $2,970), and Penn State RESS ($1,007 per credit with 5% GET discount). Customer segments span individual job seekers (primary), corporations managing layoffs and CSR programs (primary), educational institutions and students (secondary), and government/regulatory bodies (secondary).

• Energy Jobline: Energy Jobline is a dedicated job board for the energy sector (oil and gas, renewables, nuclear) — a directly comparable product offering serving the same employer and job-seeker populations as GET Jobs.
• Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD): CEWD is a nonprofit consortium of utilities and energy companies focused on workforce development for the energy sector, with similar programs to upskill and retain talent — directly comparable mission and energy-industry stakeholder base.

Regional players

• Clean Energy Council: Clean Energy Council is the Australian peak body for clean energy, running workforce development, training, and accreditation programs — a regional peer with directly comparable clean-energy workforce mission.

Broad incumbents

• Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA): SEIA is the national trade association for the U.S. solar industry, running workforce-development and training initiatives — a broader industry-body incumbent with overlapping clean-energy workforce programs.
