The Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation will receive $45.9 million under a Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration's Economic Adjustment Assistance program to support workforce development for the growing offshore wind industry. Through partnerships with leading employers in the field and seven local unions, the awardee will implement a new apprenticeship model focused on training thousands of individuals, including formerly incarcerated, veterans, disconnected youth and other underserved populations, to enter well-paying jobs in offshore wind. The grant-funded program aims to build a training model that meets the needs of employers in the industry while benefiting local communities in Maryland, with a completion date of December 31, 2025.
