A new era for clean energy workforce development

The Healey-Driscoll Administration, in collaboration with UMass Lowell and Boston University, has launched the Clean Energy and Environment Legacy Transition (CELT) Initiative. This initiative will establish a resource center dedicated to promoting equity in the state's clean energy and climate solutions. CELT will leverage academic expertise, industry innovation, and support from state and community partners to advance clean energy goals. As part of this initiative, graduate student fellows will be placed in municipalities to assist with clean energy planning and project implementation.

HEET Executive Director Zeyneb Magavi commented, "This initiative perfectly aligns with our global partnerships. Collaboration and partnerships are key to accelerating a clean energy future. We need a robust and diverse workforce, and CELT's structure will help us move in the right direction."
