The Kentucky Energy & Environment Cabinet received a $2,420,420 Department of Energy Formula Grant under the State Energy Program (CFDA 81.041) to recruit new workers into existing workforce training programs for HVAC, electrician, and insulation roles. The goal is to train 435 total individuals, with 217 in the first funding installment and 218 in the second, at an estimated cost of $5,000 per worker. The Cabinet will partner with non-profits and other organizations to recruit participants, with a minimum of 174 individuals coming from Justice40 communities. The grant supports Kentucky's plans to address worker shortages in these industries by leveraging existing training programs and targeted outreach to disadvantaged populations.
