Workforce Training
Department of Labor
The Department of Labor will receive $750 million for a program to provide competitive grants for worker training and placement in high growth and emerging industries. Of this amount, $500 million is directed for careers in energy efficiency and renewable energy. Training for health care careers is specified in the bill to be the main priority of the remaining $250 million in this program, but the conference report indicates training for wireless and broadband deployment, advanced manufacturing, and other high-demand industry sectors may be included.
