A 5897 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes workforce development training program for advanced transmission technology.

This bill (A5897) creates the Advanced Transmission Technologies Workforce Development Program (ATT Program) within New Jersey's Department of Labor. It directly affects electrical engineers, utility workers, and students by providing training to install and manage advanced transmission systems, aiming to reduce deployment delays. Key mechanisms include embedding workforce training in infrastructure projects, using community agreements to connect training to jobs, retraining existing workers, and leveraging state/federal funds like the Workforce Development Partnership Fund. The program requires annual progress reports to the Governor and Legislature starting in 2027.
