Drive to Zero: The Transition and the Human Infrastructure Behind It | Stephanie Kodish

The transition to zero-emission transportation is accelerating worldwide—but technology and policy alone will not determine its success.

In this episode of Apprenticeships WORK!, Dr. Kimberly A. Moore, CCMP, National Executive Director of the Clean Technology Training Trust, welcomes Stephanie Kodish, Senior Director of Global Drive to Zero™, for a timely conversation about the workforce, partnerships, and human infrastructure needed to support the global clean transportation movement.

Together, they explore a critical question:

Are we preparing the skilled workforce at the same pace that we are advancing zero-emission transportation?

The conversation examines:

• Why workforce development must have a permanent seat in global clean transportation discussions
• The role of Registered Apprenticeship in preparing technicians, electricians, and skilled trades professionals
• Why talent should be viewed as critical infrastructure, not simply a workforce issue
• The power of coalition building and cross-sector collaboration
• What becomes possible when organizations begin operating as an ecosystem
• The connection between workforce investment, environmental justice, and healthier communities
• The organizations and sectors that must become more engaged in workforce development
• The partnerships needed to turn global commitments into sustainable progress
• Why solving the technology challenge without solving the talent challenge is not enough

As governments, labor organizations, employers, transportation leaders, manufacturers, utilities, nonprofits, and policymakers work toward a zero-emission future, building the workforce cannot be treated as a secondary strategy.

Technology may enable transformation. People make transformation possible.

🎧 Listen to this episode of Apprenticeships WORK! and discover why the future of clean transportation depends on the people and partnerships being developed today.
