A Future of Innovationand Growth: Advancing Massachusetts’ Clean-Energy LeadershipApril 2010
“Massachusetts places second in this ranking, behind only California”
“The third key sector showing strong Massachusetts clean-energy leadership is advanced energy storage – from electric-vehicle batteries to utility-scale electricity storage. It’s a fast-growing, increasingly important niche that depends heavily on the type of R&D breakthroughs in which Massachusetts excels”

Preparing for Vehicle Technology Careers*
Engineering schools must provide new course materials◦ Chemistry, material science, electronic & mechanical
engineering
Technicians will need to learn how to repair & maintain new technologies
Installers need to learn how to put in new types of fueling infrastructure such as electric chargers
DOE EcoCAR Challenge-engineering competition to promote advance vehicle technologies & hands-on engineering experience for students

6/4/09 ‘Clean Energy Workforce Development Forum’ & 6/23/10 ‘Leadership Summit’ Recommendations
K-12 curriculum with clean energy STEM skills Multi-disciplinary certificate programsCommunication & collaboration needed between
academia, workforce investment boards, employers, state agencies & K-12
Interconnections within & between academic offerings; need for a career 'pathway’
Internships
