"We're passionate about scaling this 'earn and learn' model in the U.S. Siemens knows first-hand how valuable apprenticeships are to growing the workforce needed to be successful."

David Etzwiler, CEO, Siemens Foundation

In collaboration with the Urban Institute, we offer national frameworks for occupations in this industry that are consensus based, meaning they are drafted in cooperation with employers, educators, and other workforce and training experts. Employers and businesses can use these frameworks to fast-track the development of their registered apprenticeships. The frameworks are competency based rather than time based, meaning that abilities are emphasized over memorized knowledge or skills. The result is high-quality, competency-based occupational frameworks (CBOFs) that are freely available for all to use. CBOFs are available for the following occupations:

• Transmission Line Worker (MS Word)
• Wind Turbine Technician (MS Word)

• Get into Energy Career Pathways Roadmap
• Veterans Energy Pipeline Tool
• Electrical Training ALLIANCE
• Energy and Utilities Industry Competency Models
• United Association — Veterans in Piping
