Community Geothermal: Connecticut Workforce Needs Assessment Report and Data

Description

Included here is a geothermal industry workforce needs assessment report for Connecticut. As part of the DOE-funded Community Geothermal Heating and Cooling Design and Deployment grant, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership (NEEP) conducted several online surveys to gain a better understanding of the current geothermal workforce in Connecticut as well as gaps and needs that can be addressed to better support the geothermal workforce. The surveys also looked into training opportunities for geothermal in Connecticut. Attached here is the needs assessment report that was produced from the surveys. The report's appendix includes all survey results from facility managers, training centers, as well as drillers, installers, manufacturers, and engineers. The names of respondents have been redacted.
