Summary
This bill establishes a five-year Nuclear Energy Apprenticeship, Training, and Employment Resources Pilot Program within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development, with a $1 million appropriation to fund grants for nuclear energy-related apprenticeship programs. The program will provide financial support to eligible organizationsāincluding businesses, labor unions, colleges, non-profits, and public utilitiesāthat offer or plan to offer U.S. Department of Labor-accredited apprenticeship programs in nuclear energy infrastructure, utilities, radioactive waste management, and related sectors. The grants aim to increase skilled worker training and employment in the nuclear energy industry, with priority given to programs that can reach broad audiences, serve underserved communities, fill existing workforce needs, and demonstrate strong industry partnerships.
