PCEF provides dedicated funding to address climate action that advances racial and social justice. The SE Works/Worksource Portland Metro PCEF Career Advisor offers employment support to customers interested in sustainable clean energy jobs. This could include jobs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, capture carbon footprints, and promote community resilience to the impacts of climate change.
PCEF is a program designed to ensure that program investments benefit people who are most impacted by climate change and people who have historically been left out of the economic opportunity associated with climate projects. The SE Works program offers personalized services including support with career planning, resource connections, training costs, development workshops, and advice on transferrable skills qualifying a customer to forge a pathway in clean energy.
