Agency: Department of Energy – Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
Description:
Establishes the Career Skills Training Program, administered by the Department of Energy (DOE). This program is designed to provide grants to pay the federal share of associated career skills training programs, with a focus on enhancing the workforce for energy efficiency jobs and other related sectors. The program is allocated $10 million in funding, available until expended, and aims to address workforce gaps, support high-quality job placements, and diversify the workforce in the energy efficiency sector. The DOE intends to make competitive grant awards under this program, prioritizing training for “new-collar jobs” in the energy efficiency industry that do not require a college degree. The federal cost share requirement for this program is at least 50%.
