2 CEWD s strategy and approach since its inception has been Industry Solutions, Regional Implementation. The Center has focused on providing its members with workable solutions that align with each of the four strategic pillars: Career Awareness, Workforce Development and Education, Workforce Planning, and Structure and Support. Our goal is to provide a wealth of resources to our members that enable them to implement these solutions at the company level as well as through state and regional consortia. During this year s Annual Summit, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a more action planning focused process to help their company implement solutions based on their own needs. Participants will learn about the latest trends in workforce development and education as well as the successes and challenges CEWD members have experienced in implementing the Get Into Energy Career Pathways model.

7 TROOPSTO ENERGY JOBS Connecting Veterans to Rewarding Energy Careers The members of Edison Electric Institute are proud to support Troops to Energy Jobs. Jobs in the energy industries offer promising opportunities to our veterans who are returning to civilian life. The Troops to Energy Jobs initiative will accelerate the training and placement of veterans to help fill roughly 200,000 highly skilled jobs over the next 10 years. With their extensive military training and experience, many veterans already have the skills and knowledge required for careers in energy. And we are proud to provide opportunities for those who have served our nation so bravely.
