A 2937

This bill establishes the Power Generation Training Center within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development to address workforce needs in both nuclear and non-nuclear power generation industries. The center will operate through a public-private partnership involving state agencies, educational institutions, labor unions, and utilities to develop curricula, provide training and apprenticeships, and create certification programs that prepare workers for careers in the energy sector. Governed by a nine-member board including state officials and industry representatives, the center aims to build workforce pipelines particularly for underserved communities and displaced workers while aligning educational pathways with the evolving needs of New Jersey's power generation industry.
