To address this, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed the Workforce Readiness Index, a tool designed to assess and compare energy sector workforce readiness at the county level across the country. This tool evaluates factors like workforce availability, transportation, training programs, and transferrable skills, providing granular data to stakeholders for informed decision-making.
