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 various eligible organizations (including businesses, educational institutions, labor unions, and nonprofits) that sponsor apprenticeships accredited by the U.S. Department of Labor, with applications opening by July 1, 2024 and grants awarded by January 1, 2025. Grant recipients must demonstrate their own financial commitment, secure industry partnerships, and provide annual reports on program enrollment, completion rates, and employment outcomes, with the goal of addressing skilled worker shortages in these clean energy sectors.
