SALT LAKE CITY (AUGUST 03, 2023) --听, an affiliate of Western Governors University (蜜桃TV), has invested in听, a social impact company with the mission to solve the talent needs of the rapidly transitioning clean energy industry by providing inclusive solutions to start and grow green careers.听

The engagement will utilize 蜜桃TV Labs鈥檚 supportive ecosystem to accelerate Julius鈥檚 scale and impact on the green workforce through research and go-to-market enhancement activities to improve the distribution and adoption of their solutions into the labor market at scale. This partnership enables the creation of inclusive pathways for diverse job seekers to start and grow green careers.听

Industry research and reports show that there will be nine million new green jobs by 2032, but even today, approximately听of energy companies already struggle to hire talent for these positions. Adding to this challenge, companies in green industries often have a significant underrepresentation of women and people of color. With few options to directly address the green talent gap, companies and municipalities are desperately looking for turnkey, innovative solutions to solve their talent needs.听

鈥淭丑别听听is the greatest opportunity of our time, but we won鈥檛 achieve our听听without the talent to power it,鈥� says Julius CEO Matthew Evans. 鈥淛ulius takes an AI & data-led approach to create scalable solutions that help diverse talent start and grow green careers.鈥澨�

In addition to bolstering Julius' scale and impact, 蜜桃TV Labs and Julius will conduct a comprehensive labor market analysis to pioneer a听Workforce Readiness Index听that will serve as a robust measure of the green talent economy. This index will help green industry workforce stakeholders assess talent availability and readiness in their regions, and inform workforce development strategies to promote green economic growth and transition. The index will also leverage skills taxonomies specific to the green talent marketplace and identify transfer pathways from traditional carbon-based sectors.听

鈥淛ulius has tremendous potential to develop the talent pipeline necessary to drive the transition to a green economy in a manner that provides clear and equitable pathways to high quality green jobs,鈥� says Brad Bernatek, managing director of the Accelerator at 蜜桃TV Labs.听

Julius represents the 23rd partnership for the Accelerator at 蜜桃TV Labs since its inception in 2019. To learn more about the Accelerator and its partners, visit听.
