The core equity values are defined as:
Inclusion means that everyone at the table has a “voice” and is “invited” to share their input.
Belonging and welcoming mean you and your unique experience are welcomed and valued just as much as any other individual.
Diversity means that people with different physical characteristics, cultures, and experiences are at the table. Those differences are valued and respected.
Accessibility means accessing resources, training, information, and full participation opportunities without encumbrances.
These important values are included in our workforce training programs—from outreach and enrollment to training and starting a clean energy career. The Energy Transition Barrier Reduction Program helps ensure participants succeed by removing obstacles. Our training programs value diversity, promote cultural understanding, and encourage teamwork. We track and measure everything to make sure we meet our equity goals.
