摘要

The Labor Department announced Jan. 6 that it is awarding almost $100 million in grants for training programs that help dislocated workers, veterans, women, African Americans, and Latinos find jobs in expanding green industries, particularly the clean energy sector.rnThe training will prepare workers for jobs as hybrid/ electric auto technicians, weatherization specialists, wind and energy auditors, and solar panel installers and will be tailored to jobs that are in demand locally. The programs are designed to lead to industry credentials and employment, including placement in registered apprenticeship programs.
