Description

The program will increase the types of credentialing provided through apprenticeship programs and provide broad education and outreach on energy careers. 75% of funding will go to contractors and 25% will go to a 3RD party program administrator to oversee the program. The state is hoping to train 112 new workers and 208 existing workers. This is somewhat high but achievable given their proposed approach. They do not specifically identify priority occupations or communities of interest. But they do want to focus on youth, formerly incarcerated individuals, and contractors in existing utility networks.
