GreenBiz - The U.S. government is distributing $100 million in green job training grants to 25 projects throughout the country, including $28 million going to communities impacted by auto industry restructuring.
The education funded by these Energy Training Partnership Grants will be based on the needs by the local communities and will train workers for careers as hybrid/electric auto technicians, weatherization specialists, wind and energy auditors, and solar panel installers.
The grants were distributed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration and are part of a $500 million initiative by the Recovery Act to fund workforce development projects for the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries. Over the coming weeks, the Department of Labor plans to release additional grant funds.
