42 U.S.C. § 18802: Career skills training

Summary

Provides grants to nonprofit partnerships to run training where students take classroom lessons and get on-the-job experience at the same time so they can earn a certificate to install energy-efficient building technologies. The federal government will cover 50% of each program’s cost. Congress set aside $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2022 for this work, and that money can be used until it is all spent. Eligible entity: a nonprofit partnership with equal involvement from employers (public or private) and labor groups. It can include things like workforce boards, community groups, service corps, schools, small businesses, cooperatives, and veterans agencies or organizations. The partnership must have experience running worker training, be able to recruit people who would benefit and be active in energy efficiency and renewable energy work, and help trainees reach economic self-sufficiency.
