Communities Through the Federal
Government’’, DOE has included a
strategic goal to ‘‘develop an agencywide framework to effectively work
with Tribal and disadvantaged
communities to reimagine their clean
energy future through real investments
and technical assistance and ensure that
community voices and decision-making
are integrated into DOE funding,
research, and programming.’’ How
should DOE coordinate, communicate,
and/or engage with these communities?
What could meaningful engagement
look like?
B. The Department of Energy is
seeking to address additional barriers in
its programs and policies in future
equity action plans. The public is
encouraged to provide input in response
to the questions below to inform what
efforts we prioritize as we update DOE’s
Equity Action Plan.
1. As America transitions to a clean
energy economy, historic Federal
investments can further three
interrelated goals: creating more
domestic jobs, attracting and retaining
workers in good jobs, and prioritizing
inclusive access to those good jobs,
including for underserved and
underrepresented populations. What
strategies should DOE prioritize to
achieve these three interrelated goals?
What factors are the most pronounced
barriers facing workers, including
underserved and underrepresented
populations, to join and succeed in the
energy workforce? How could DOE help
to reduce or eliminate those barriers?
Additional Unidentified Barrers
2. What additional barriers in DOE’s
policies, programs, processes should the
Department consider examining as it
continues to develop strategies for
future equity action plans?
