PowHER Pathways: Exploring Careers in the Energy Trades

Did you know that the energy industry employs more people than the fast food and retail sectors combined? Imagine a career where your paycheck reflects your hard work, where you can earn while you learn, and where you help build the literal foundation of the future.

This course is designed specifically for women who are curious about entering the high-demand energy sector and skilled trades. It highlights real pathways toward economic stability, independence, and professional pride. You’ll hear real stories from women who transitioned from retail, healthcare, and the military into rewarding roles as electricians, lineworkers, and heavy equipment operators. As you explore these journeys, you’ll gain insight into how you can build a stable, meaningful future for yourself and your family after reentry.

This initiative—created by the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) in collaboration with Edovo—is centered on women’s experiences, but it’s open to anyone with curiosity about the energy sector. Whether you see yourself as hands-on, strategic, creative, or community-driven, there’s a place for you in this field.
