Skills-Based Employment is Powering Economic Renewal and Climate Restoration in the American Heartland and Beyond

​Hosted by Charm Industrial, Workday and Futerra

​Climate tech doesn’t just mean breakthrough technologies—it means creating good jobs in the communities that need them most, often in the middle of America and around the world. As industries transition to clean energy, carbon removal, and sustainable supply chains, there’s an unprecedented opportunity to identify workers who already have the skills that can support solving climate change decarbonization while driving inclusive economic growth. This panel will explore how companies, platforms, and governments can work together to scale climate tech jobs, ensuring that opportunities are accessible across geographies and demographics. From leveraging and upskilling existing workforces to unlocking entirely new career pathways, the conversation will highlight both the demand signals from employers and the lived experience of workforce development.

​Charm Industrial in particular has been leveraging the skills sets of the oil industry to implement its breakthrough carbon removal projects, and many hourly operational employees are now taking on more technical roles as the team grows.
