“Betony’s led the federal government’s work to ensure major energy investments deliver high-quality jobs and economic opportunity. She shaped over $200 Billion investments for clean energy projects, ensuring alignment between industry and worker needs. Her experience connecting federal policy, labor standards, industry growth, and workforce development will be invaluable as the Trust continues building a cross-sector model that prepares the workforce for the industries transforming the global economy.” — Dave Reaves, Chairman, Clean Technology Training Trust

“Collaboration is America’s superpower. It’s how we’ll grow the workforce that’ll build and sustain innovative and efficient clean energy industries. I’m excited to join the Clean Technology Training Trust’s Advisory Council to strengthen that collaboration across labor, industry, education, and public policy to develop the scalable workforce models workers and employers need to compete in the global clean energy economy.” — Betony Jones, Independent Advisor, and Former Director of Energy Jobs and Labor Advisor to Secretary of Energy

Jones currently serves as a Senior Research Advisor for the Green Economy at the UC Berkeley Labor Center, Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute, Strategic Advisor to Heartland Capital Strategies, and previously founded Inclusive Economics, a strategy firm focused on aligning climate policy, labor markets, and economic opportunity. Her appointment reflects the Trust’s commitment to assembling a diverse advisory council representing labor, industry, education, research institutions, and public policy leaders working together to shape workforce solutions for the industries driving the next generation of economic growth.

The CTTT National Advisory Council provides strategic guidance and recommendations to the Trust’s Board of Trustees as it advances workforce initiatives across sectors including clean transportation,

advanced manufacturing, battery and energy storage technologies, and emerging technical occupations supporting the clean economy.

“Building the workforce required for the clean economy demands collaboration across sectors that historically operated independently.

Moore, National Executive Director, Clean Technology Training Trust
