  • Leverage ShaleNet's central database of current and projected employment opportunities, standardized curricula aligned to industry requirements, and a job matching service.
  • Begin with the Energy Alliance which will adapt the ShaleNET model to other energy-related industries. Ultimately, the ShaleNet model could eliminate the geo-political impediments to training and hiring by any regional employer, regardless of industry sector.
  • Once a model is developed in the energy sector, it is anticipated that industries having regional workforce demand, like healthcare, can refine and adopt the model.
