Red Rocks’ training lab for EV charging technologies is here. Join Colorado’s climate workforce and sign up today!
Powered by the Colorado Opportunity Now initiative, the new EVSE Training Lab at Red Rocks Community College's Lakewood Campus is helping shape the future of Colorado's clean energy workforce. Developed in collaboration with Denver Economic Development & Opportunity, the lab offers hands-on training in electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. By preparing students for careers in the rapidly expanding EV infrastructure sector, RRCC is helping meet the demand for skilled workers driving the transition to a more sustainable transportation system.
Upskill and close the Gap!
Colorado’s Workforce is rapidly changing with a surge of climate-resilient employment forecasted for the next decade. Joining state-wide efforts, RRCC prepares you for the demands of the climate workforce and helps you turn your career green.
The Colorado Energy Office is forecasting a key workforce gap among Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) technicians and identifies HVAC and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers as an urgently needed Climate-Critical occupation. Our trainings are designed to close those gaps.
Statewide public initiatives support decarbonization across different sectors. The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) and its partners share resources and develop programs to upskill existing workers and train new ones in climate-relevant occupations. That’s why we offer some programs for free or heavily subsidized.
“Colorado needs a climate workforce that can work with their hands. Roughly three-quarters of the jobs identified as “climate critical” are in the skilled trades [on] the list of expected climate worker shortfalls by 2030.”
