Applications for the N.J. Economic Development Authority’s $7 million Green Workforce Training Grant Challenge will open Aug. 8.
The program aims to prepare New Jersey residents for green economy careers, with a particular focus on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion and serving overburdened communities.
Grants from $250,000 to up to $1.5 million are available.
The program is a competitive funding opportunity, for which applicants will be asked to submit proposals that outline their plans to develop and implement workforce training and skills programs focused on strengthening and diversifying the state’s green economy.
Awardees may use funds to cover design, planning, capital, and implementation costs to offer training programs in green economy industries.
Entities that can provide skill development, workforce training, job placement, and other related services are eligible to apply. (For more information, click here)
