The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $1,499,099 Cooperative Agreement to ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. to develop and pilot a new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Service Advisor Pre-Apprenticeship Program in four cities across Michigan and California. This program, funded under the Conservation Research and Development (CFDA 81.086) grant program, aims to expand access to career-track training and employment in EVSE operations and maintenance for a diverse pipeline of individuals, including those from disadvantaged communities with high unemployment. The project will build upon existing training to create an entry-level, state-of-the-art EVSE operations and maintenance training and certification program. Graduates of the pre-apprenticeship program will receive a nationally- and industry-recognized credential, enabling them to advance to medium and highly skilled jobs in EVSE operations and maintenance, as well as explore pathways to enter electrical apprenticeship programs.
