Please join the Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN)'s  Regional Workforce Alliance Meeting on Wednesday, March 18 from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm at the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, Cal Poly Pomona in Pomona, CA.

As Southern California’s commercial and logistics corridors pivot toward a decarbonized and energy efficiency future, the SoCalREN Regional Workforce Alliance is exploring how infrastructure modernization can spur local economic mobility.

The SoCalREN Regional Workforce Alliance brings together industry, local government, community based organizations, training, and education stakeholders to collaborate, network, share tools and resources, and take meaningful action that will advance our region’s workforce ecosystem. The purpose is to gain and provide insight on programs, policies, opportunities, gaps and challenges facing workforce development initiatives in southern California.
