Summary
This bill establishes the Wind and Nuclear Production Apprenticeship Grant Program within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development to provide funding for new apprenticeship programs specifically in the wind energy and nuclear power industries. The program will award competitive grants to eligible organizations (including businesses, educational institutions, unions, and nonprofits) that sponsor apprenticeship programs accredited by the U.S. Department of Labor, with applications beginning July 1, 2024, and awards distributed by January 1, 2025. The initiative aims to address skilled worker shortages in these energy sectors by supporting workforce training programs that can demonstrate industry partnerships, financial commitment, and potential to increase program enrollment and job placement outcomes.
