Advancing Workforce Development for California’s Emerging Mobility Ecosystem
As the transportation industry transitions to a mobility future defined by electrification, automation, connectivity and other emerging technologies, workforce readiness is increasingly critical. The GoMentum Innovation Alliance conducted a comprehensive Gaps and Needs Assessment to understand current challenges and identify opportunities for workforce development innovation in preparing the California East Bay region’s workforce to meet emerging transportation technology demands.
To inform this assessment, a survey was designed to gather insights from a diverse group of stakeholders across the public, private, nonprofit, labor, and education sectors. The survey included both quantitative and open-ended questions to assess workforce gaps, gauge sector engagement, and surface potential solutions. Thirty stakeholders responded, offering a rich cross-section of perspectives on how to better align workforce development systems with the needs of an evolving transportation ecosystem.
