DTE Energy provides an internal learning platform that includes free instructor-led and online courses, learning-focused events with expert guest speakers, and a comprehensive development program for new front-line leaders.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

DTE Energy is committed to building a diverse, empowered, and engaged team that delivers safe, reliable service and energy to our customers.  A diverse workforce and inclusive culture contribute to DTE Energy's success and sustainability by driving innovation and creating trusted relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, and community partners.  By tapping into the talent, unique perspectives, and life experiences of every employee, DTE Energy can ensure its continued success.

As of December 31, 2024, DTE Energy’s workforce was comprised of 26% women and 32% minorities.  DTE Energy measures DEI performance by its workforce representation of women, minorities, veterans, and employees with disabilities, as well as the following:

The energy groups are an important component of DTE Energy's overall DEI strategy, providing opportunities for volunteering, skill building, mentoring, and cultural celebrations.
