Clean Technology Training Trust establishes National Advisory Board

The Clean Technology Training Trust (CTTT) announced the formation of a cross-sector National Advisory Board Jan. 27, aiming to align worker-centered training and apprenticeship practices with renewable energy practices across the U.S.

The board, which consists of labor leaders, workforce experts, industrial partners, and educators will provide the CTTT with “strategic guidance” for both its short- and long-term future. Using knowledge from the board, the CTTT hopes to better design and scale careers in medium and heavy duty zero emission vehicle manufacturing and maintenance. The board will also oversee career advancement in battery production, industrial and advanced manufacturing, and computer chip manufacturing.

The CTTT has already announced eight representatives for the National Advisory Board as of Jan. 28, including Ashlee Breitner, managing director of the Economic Growth Institute at the University of Michigan and Jared Schnader, VP of Calstart.
