"'This effort reflects MLJT and CSEDD’s growing commitment to advancing clean energy solutions that strengthen the Sierra region’s economy and workforce.' (said Alex Bloom, MLJT.)
He said the work also aligns with the Sierra Jobs First initiative, which identifies clean energy, sustainable agriculture, community healthcare, natural and working lands, and sustainable recreation and tourism as priority sectors for regional economic resilience." - Tori James, Calaveras Enterprise, 1/08/26

The Calaveras Enterprise recently took a look at the great work being done by Sierra Jobs First Catalyst project, Keep Sierra Green, and the booming EV sector in its article, “EV charging stations, job demand, training opportunities surge in the new year” (January 8, 2026)
The article highlights the promise and importance of this sector, saying, “According to the latest data, over the next decade it is estimated 1.1 million EVSE-related jobs will be required and that burgeoning workforce needs will already be outpacing jobs to develop EV-charging stations.”
