Sierra Business Council is conducting a survey on workforce training within California’s wildfire resilience sector. Our goal is to strengthen workforce development across the state by identifying gaps in current training opportunities and recommending strategies for workforce investment.

Who Should Take This Survey
You have been invited to participate because of your organization’s role:
  • Providing workforce training and education related to wildfire resilience, and/or
  • Employing/contracting people to implement wildfire resilience work
How Long Will it Take
The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. Your responses will be kept confidential, and results will be reported in aggregate.

How Results Will be Used
Your responses will help us better understand existing training programs, identify unmet training needs, and improve training opportunities. Findings will help the California Wildfire & Forest Resilience Task Force identify the wildfire resilience workforce training needed to support implementation of its 2026-2031 Action Plan, and may also inform other state and regional workforce investments, policy decisions, and program design.

Next Steps
If you have questions about this survey or the research, please contact Emily Blackmer at e_blackmer@sierrabusiness.org.

Thank you in advance for contributing to efforts that support a stronger, more resilient wildfire workforce in California.
