Workforce and Community Development
Flags in hand, participants make their way across the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge in Crockett, California, during the Phillips 66 Walk of Honor—coming together to recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans.
The U.S. refining, petrochemical and midstream industries employ millions of Americans in roles that offer stability, skill development and long-term career potential. Companies invest in training programs, technical education and workforce development to help employees grow and adapt in a changing energy landscape. Industry leaders continue to build a more diverse and inclusive workforce by creating environments where people feel respected, supported and empowered to contribute meaningfully.
These industries maintain strong community by supporting education, public safety and charitable initiatives. They collaborate with local schools to build workforce skills and partner with nonprofits to aid first responders, veterans and underserved groups. Their goal is to strengthen the communities that sustain them.
