This week, our team chipped in to help the Boys & Girls Clubs of The Columbia Basin distribute supplies for a back-to-school event at Big Bend Community College! It was heartwarming to assist with providing backpacks, notebooks, and other classroom essentials, to ensure that every child is prepared for a successful school year. Shout-out to everyone involved in making this event a success and for supporting our community’s future leaders. #CommunitySupport #BackToSchool #MakingADifference #GrantCountyWA #MosesLake

Inspiring the next generation in #STEM is something that we are passionate about. This week, Michael Koon and Abel Mancilla from our #MosesLake team had a great time volunteering at the Tech & STEM Showcase at the NCW Fair in Waterville, WA. They helped kids get hands-on experience creating their own flashlights using copper tape, a #battery, a paperclip, and a bulb. It was incredible to witness so many young, curious minds exploring new ideas. A huge shoutout to everyone who participated and made this event a success. #STEMShowcase #TechInnovation #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning

Wrapping up the week on a high note! 🌟 Our amazing interns have been working hard, so we decided to treat them to a well-deserved break. We had a blast at the SF Giants baseball game and soaked up some sunshine to recharge our batteries. Shout-out to our incredible interns, their managers, and our dedicated people team.

“China’s advantage in clean energy manufacturing comes down to an investment in manufacturing infrastructure, including both physical assets and skilled labor. For America to achieve independence and success in the new energy economy, we need to build massive production capacity in our own country.” Chris Dougher our VP of Operations penned an op-ed in Utility Dive about what’s needed to advance U.S. leadership in clean energy #manufacturing – and it’s not just infrastructure and equipment, it’s skilled talent. In Moses Lake, we’re partnering with Big Bend Community College and Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center to develop a robust talent pipeline. Through these programs, students have an opportunity to go from graduation right into the #workforce with entry-level skills that can be further developed on the job. We’ve already hired new graduates at our plant and we’re dedicated to the continued development of our local workforce. Read article: https://lnkd.in/gPyp9Wjm
The US lacks enough skilled clean energy workers, but solutions are close at hand
