Civilian Conservation Center Enhancement Act of 2025
This bill establishes new training programs at Civilian Conservation Centers (CCCs) operated by the Interior or Agriculture Departments, focusing on wildfire firefighting, forestry, and conservation skills for underserved youth. It requires the Secretaries to hire 300 annual graduates into wildland firefighting roles, bypass standard hiring rules for qualified graduates, and use covered students (current trainees) for facility renovations and housing projects. Key provisions include specialized curricula like heavy equipment operation, forest restoration, and habitat monitoring, alongside housing pilots to improve federal housing for firefighters using CCC trainees. The bill directly affects CCC participants, federal agencies, and rural communities seeking conservation workforce development.
