  8. A Career Lattice Does: • Focus on pathways, not skills • Include more information than originally sought • Include corporate and education training info • Need additional focus in Year Two Does Not: • Provide company specific information • Develop Skill Standards or Skills Panels • Include all energy occupations • Provide complete gap analysis information

  9. Career Lattice Findings Jobs are Distinct Jobs are Changing Occupations vary among employers Smart Grid will require more IT, Data Management & Analysis, and Communication skills

  10. Supply Side Options

  11. Demand Side Connections

  12. New Skills/Functions Connect Occupations

  13. Next Steps Create on-line tool to make data accessible (proposed) Plot occupations into Smart Grid image (see samples) Follow up industry interviews, refine data Connect Career Lattice to supply and demand information (proposed)

  14. Request for Ed Taskforce Input Provide input on draft Smart Grid images Review Career Lattice content posted on http://cleanenergyexcellence.org/
