The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $1,950,332 Cooperative Agreement to the City of Philadelphia to create the "Plug In Philly" workforce development program. The program aims to upskill low-income, non-white, and female workers to support the electric vehicle (EV) industry in Philadelphia through a comprehensive community outreach strategy and pre-apprenticeship program. The program includes stipends and support services to increase awareness of emerging EV supply equipment (EVSE) jobs. This federal grant award under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) supports the city's efforts to develop a diverse, highly skilled workforce to meet the needs of the growing EV industry in the region.
