Clean Energy Workforce Act
Clean Energy Workforce: Training and School Grants
The Clean Energy Workforce Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Education and Workforce for review. The bill is actively moving forward as it waits for the committee to discuss its next steps.
Legislative Progress
Most bills introduced in the House never make it out of committee, and this bill lacks the broad support from House leadership needed for a floor vote.
Key Points
- The Clean Energy Workforce Act would provide $100 million to help schools and colleges create training programs for jobs in renewable energy and climate change.
- Schools would work with local businesses and labor unions to make sure students learn the specific skills needed for careers in solar, wind, and energy efficiency.
- The money can also be used to upgrade school buildings to be more energy efficient or to buy modern equipment that students can use for hands-on learning.
- This plan focuses on helping students from low-income backgrounds and rural communities get the training they need for high-paying technical jobs.
