Description: ConnectWerx, a Partnership Intermediary of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in collaboration with the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) will establish a Solar Workforce Technical Assistance Program to support effective workforce training programs for careers in solar energy. The program will facilitate partnership building and peer-to-peer learning opportunities and provide training resources, technical assistance, and funding to encourage the identification and adoption of best practices for solar training programs. With funding of around $8,000,000, DOE expects to make 1-3 larger award(s) to national non-profit organizations with expertise in solar workforce development to establish the program, and subsequently to make multiple smaller awards to community-based organizations, community colleges, and other training providers to participate in the program.
