Unlikely to pass

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.
