True Transition is an organization with two primary missions: 1) Secure a seat at the table for energy workers. True Transition speaks directly to oil and gas workers throughout the United States about their working conditions, their training and compensation needs, and their hopes for tomorrow’s industries. They deserve a seat at the table, because they built the table. 2) Create the jobs and conditions of the energy transition. True Transitions is a public policy collaborative identifying where oil and gas workers’ skills are needed most and writing the policies to make those jobs and laws a reality. They are working to make sure that workers can seamlessly transition into emerging fields with training and full interim support. And finally, we are working to make sure that future energy jobs pay well and support American families and communities.
