Description: MCE, a California Joint Powers Authority, is seeking qualifications from interested vendors to support the 2027 Green Workforce Pathways program. The program seeks to strengthen residential energy efficiency and building electrification contractor capabilities, expand access to practical technical training, and build connections between contractors and regional workforce training providers to support pathways into building trades and all-electric technology careers. I. ABOUT MCE MCE's mission is to confront the climate crisis by eliminating fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, producing renewable energy, and creating equitable community benefits. MCE is a not-for-profit public agency and the preferred electricity provider for more than 600,000 customer accounts and 1.5 million residents and businesses across Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties. Setting the standard for clean energy in California since 2010, MCE leads with 60% renewable power at stable rates, delivering a 1400 MW peak load and significantly reducing greenhouse emissions and reinvesting millions in local programs. MCE's vision is to lead California to an equitable, clean, affordable, and reliable energy economy by serving as a model for community-based renewable energy, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge clean-tech products and programs. II. PROJECT BACKGROUND MCE's Green Workforce Pathways program supports the growth and resilience of the residential energy efficiency and building electrification industry by engaging the existing workforce, facilitating contractor education, and strengthening business support for all-electric home retrofits. The program addresses barriers to building electrification workforce development, including limited access to relevant technical training, gaps in contractor sales and business development capabilities, time and scheduling constraints that limit contractor participation in training, and insufficient technical building electrification curriculum within workforce training programs. Through partnerships with industry stakeholders, equipment distributors and manufacturers, residential contractors, community-based organizations (CBOs), and regional workforce training providers, MCE seeks to provide practical education and training that responds to industry needs and supports development of a skilled local workforce.
