Sponsored By: Representative Magaziner, Seth [D-RI-2]
Introduced
Summary
Boosts clean-energy career training by creating two competitive grant programs that would fund curriculum development and energy-efficient facility upgrades to prepare students for clean energy jobs. The Department of Energy would run the programs in coordination with the Department of Education and use peer review to pick grantees.
Show full summary
- Students and families: Expands secondary and postsecondary programs of study with hands-on learning tied to specific clean-energy occupations. Grants prioritize low-performing students and special populations and support placement into nontraditional fields.
- Schools and institutions: Local education agencies, area CTE schools, and colleges could get awards to develop replicable curricula, evaluate facility sustainability, retrofit buildings, and buy energy-efficient equipment used as teaching tools.
- Employers and labor: Grants require partnerships with industry and community representatives and encourage consultation with labor organizations and apprenticeship sponsors to match programs to labor-market needs and spread successful models.
*Authorizes $100 million in appropriations to the Department of Energy to carry out these grant programs.*

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
$100 million for clean energy training
If enacted, the bill would authorize $100 million to the Department of Energy to run the clean energy workforce grant programs. The money would fund the curriculum development and renewable energy facilities grants described in the bill. The appropriation would provide the funding source but would not set formulas for individual grants.
Grants to build clean energy programs
If enacted, the bill would create competitive grants for schools and colleges to build clean energy career programs and improve facilities. Curriculum grants would fund partnerships of local schools, postsecondary institutions, and community representatives to develop replicable secondary and postsecondary programs that reach disadvantaged and low-performing students and plan for online or other dissemination. Facilities grants would pay for energy audits, stakeholder planning, construction or equipment purchases, and sharing lessons with other schools. The Secretary would use a peer-review committee and Perkins Act definitions to evaluate and prioritize applications.
