This $2,779,120 Formula Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy under the State Energy Program (CFDA 81.041) will enable the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) to develop a statewide training platform to provide greater access and availability to accredited energy efficiency, electrification, and clean energy training and certifications. MODNR plans to train 225 existing workers, including HVAC technicians, retrofit technicians, energy auditors, plumbers, electricians, and home performance contractors, to upskill the current workforce and prepare them to deliver residential energy efficiency, electrification, and clean energy improvements. The grant funding will support MODNR's collaboration with the Missouri Office of Workforce Development's Eligible Training Provider System to connect participants with relevant BPI training providers based on their individual or firm's needs. This project aligns with the State Energy Program's objectives to increase market transformation of energy technologies through policies, strategies, and public-private partnerships that facilitate the adoption of clean energy solutions.
