Fueling the Clean Energy Sector with Qualified Green Talent
The Challenge
Less than 20% of the current clean energy jobs are represented by BIPOC and women, despite the growing demand for green skilled workers.
Our Mission
To recruit and place 100,000 underrepresented BIPOC and
women in clean energy jobs by 2050.
“How do the employers and utilities and other infrastructure actors … get the word out, to help and provide supportive services to workers who have traditionally been marginalized and underrepresented, including many women and people of color?”

The U.S. Education System Isn’t Giving Students What Employers Need
Our Story
Next Generation Inc. was conceived as a vehicle to assist both colleges and industry to respond to the urgent need to expand the number of BIPOC and women represented in clean energy careers.
Our expertise in education is deeply rooted in our work with schools and universities at the local, state and federal levels. Additionally, our experience has taught us to end the silo approach to workforce development. As such, our most important value that we bring to universities and companies is our regional and local workforce development solutions designed to create the qualified BIPOC and Women Green Talent Pipeline.
