Creates Wind and Nuclear Production Apprenticeship Grant Program.

S 178 establishes a state grant program to fund new apprenticeship programs in New Jersey's wind energy and nuclear power industries. The program, administered by the Department of Labor, provides grants to eligible organizations - including businesses, schools, and non-profits - that partner with industry to create accredited training. To qualify, applicants must demonstrate workforce need, secure industry partnerships, and detail program curriculum, recruitment, and outcomes. Grants require annual reporting on enrollment, completion rates, and job placements, with the Department submitting yearly evaluations to the Legislature on program effectiveness. This bill directly supports workers entering skilled trades in these growing sectors by addressing workforce shortages through structured training.
