July 2025 | What do Workforce Programs and a Cat-Walk have in common?

California's workforce development programs might not deliver direct energy savings, but honey, they are absolutely serving the foundation for everything we do. From the California Conservation Corps training young adults in energy efficiency installations to community colleges developing EV infrastructure curricula, these programs are building the skilled workforce that makes our clean energy dreams possible. They're the runway before the show—preparing electricians, auditors, installers, and technicians to strut their stuff with confidence and expertise. This month's playlist celebrates that fierce energy with songs that scream "You better WORK!" Whether it's RuPaul commanding the catwalk or Rihanna demanding we get to business, these tracks channel the same unstoppable determination that drives California's workforce programs to train, certify, and deploy the talent that keeps our energy efficiency programs runway-ready.
