Sierra Business Council Conducts Survey to Help Inform the Task Force’s Workforce and Career Development Strategy


July 9, 2026 – Sierra Business Council (SBC) is conducting a survey on wildfire resilience workforce training to help identify gaps in current training opportunities and inform a future Task Force strategy to scale the wildfire resilience workforce. SBC is seeking survey respondents who provide workforce training and education related to wildfire resilience and/or employ or contract individuals to implement wildfire resilience projects. SBC will use the results of the survey to better understand existing training programs, identify unmet training needs, and improve training opportunities. The findings will help the Task Force identify the workforce training needed to support implementation of the 2026-2031 Action Plan and may also inform other state and regional workforce investments, policy decisions, and program design.
