Workforce Development
SYTE’s Workforce Development Program creates the skilled infrastructure and clean energy professionals the industry desperately needs.
Our Commitment
The Future of Energy Starts with People
The clean energy transition requires millions of skilled workers, talent the industry doesn’t have yet. SYTE’s Workforce Development Apprenticeship Program solves this critical challenge.
We partner with leading workforce development organizations to upskill workers and create clear pathways into infrastructure, heavy civil, and clean energy careers. From apprenticeship programs to major projects like Chicago’s gas pipe replacement initiative, we’re building the workforce that powers the future.
Our mission is to create economic development opportunities and give back to the industries we serve.
“We’re addressing the workforce shortage head-on while building local talent that strengthens communities and powers America’s infrastructure.”
The Challenge
Addressing America's Infrastructure Workforce Crisis
“We need millions of workers to build the infrastructure of tomorrow. SYTE is committed to creating those opportunities today.”
The infrastructure and clean energy sectors face a critical workforce shortage. This gap threatens project timelines, safety standards, and America’s ability to modernize its infrastructure.
SYTE recognized this challenge and has chosen to be part of the solution.
Our Workforce Development Program strengthens the entire industry by creating pathways for individuals seeking meaningful careers in infrastructure, heavy civil construction, and clean energy.
