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