We are PowerUs
Our mission to make skilled blue-collar work attractive
Picture a future where we successfully tackle challenges like climate change and the energy transition. Yet, skilled blue-collar workers stand as the primary bottleneck to achieving this necessary transition.
Millions of solar panels, wind turbines, and EV chargers await installation. A staggering 85% of all buildings need to be refurbished, including upgrades to energy systems, heating, windows, roof, and beyond. This vital work predominantly falls upon the shoulders of skilled blue-collar workers from traditional apprenticeship jobs.
