The New Jersey Department of Treasury, as the Public Utilities Board Commission, has been awarded a $3,517,680 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Program (CFDA 81.041). The grant funds will be used to train 400-600 contractors and workers over a 4-year period, with the goal of increasing workforce diversity in the energy efficiency sector. This effort will address barriers to workforce diversity through funding training tuition costs and providing wraparound support services. The grant activities will be executed in four main phases: planning and development, distribution of the request for proposal and grant funds, ongoing implementation and monitoring, and ensuring sustainability of the progress made through partnerships and pipeline development. This grant program aims to facilitate the adoption and implementation of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in New Jersey through policy, strategy, and public-private collaborations.
