Clean Energy Workforce Act

The Clean Energy Workforce Act authorizes $100 million to help schools and colleges train students for jobs in clean energy, renewable energy, and climate change fields. The funding supports two main programs: grants for partnerships between schools and local businesses to create or expand educational courses that prepare students for these industries, and grants for educational facilities to become more energy-efficient and use renewable power. To ensure quality, the bill requires a review committee of educators and industry experts to evaluate grant applications, with priority given to programs that reach underserved students and share their methods with other schools.
