A 3058 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Manufacturing Workforce Development Grant Program" for students enrolled at county colleges.

This bill creates a state grant program to fund paid internships at local manufacturers for students at New Jersey county colleges. County colleges applying for grants must partner with approved manufacturers, with 85% of grant funds covering student stipends for internship hours and 15% supporting program administration and career counseling. Priority is given to internships in manufacturing jobs designated as high-demand occupations, and students completing the program earn academic credit while potentially receiving job offers. The program requires annual reporting on partnerships, student participation, skills gained, and employment outcomes to the state government.
