💡America’s AI boom is creating a massive energy boom ... but the workforce behind it seems to be an afterthought. AI, data centers, advanced manufacturing and electrification are driving unprecedented demand for reliable power.

Investment is moving. Projects are moving. Technology is moving. But there’s one critical piece that can’t be built overnight: THE PEOPLE.

The competition for engineers, project managers, quality professionals, construction leaders and skilled trades is intensifying across the energy and infrastructure sectors. And for major capital projects, a talent shortage isn’t just a recruiting challenge. It can become a project risk.

That’s why workforce strategy needs to start long before the hiring surge begins.

In Edition One of Talascend’s “Powering America’s Workforce” Executive Thought Leadership Series, Monique Mollere explores the workforce challenges behind America’s energy future and why the race for talent may ultimately be the deciding factor.

The infrastructure boom is here. The workforce challenge is next.
