Workforce Development & Community Engagement
Promoting equity, education, training, and job opportunities all along the supply chain in a way that supports healthy communities, economies, and the environment.
The D2D Workforce Development and Community Engagement program encourages collaboration across our industry, academic, government, and non-profit partners in a way that fosters equitable access to supply chain job opportunities and meets the needs of new technology deployments. For example, facilitating the development of training for electricians to work on electric vehicle charging stations or for safety remote operators to perform automated ground delivery. The mission of the D2D Workforce Development and Community Engagement program is to promote equity, education, training, and job opportunities within the supply chain in a way that supports the well-being of our local communities, economies, and the environment.
Our strategic program area objectives are:
- Workforce Development: Facilitating the development of education and training programs that equip individuals with the skills required for current and future supply chain roles.
- Community Engagement: Conducting outreach with local communities to identify their priorities and challenges.
- Equitable Economic Opportunities: Supporting the creation of pathways for meaningful employment that support economic growth and reduce disparities.
- Environmental Stewardship: Promoting green initiatives within the supply chain to minimize ecological impact and support healthy living environments.
