The Executive Office of the State of South Carolina's Energy Office (SCEO) was awarded a $2,397,600 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy under the State Energy Program (CFDA 81.041) to train, test, and certify 330 residential energy efficiency and electrification workers in South Carolina over a 48-month period. SCEO plans to split the training program evenly between new and existing workers, with a focus on recruiting and training individuals from disadvantaged communities. The office will collaborate with a competitively selected implementing partner subgrantee to develop and deliver the clean energy workforce training program, which will equip participants with the necessary skills and certifications to support South Carolina's growing clean energy economy. The project aims to leverage SCEO's state government networks and its workforce advisory group to establish strong partnerships with employers and incorporate community and labor feedback into the program plans.
