Green Jobs and Healthcare Implementation Study. Interim Report.

摘要

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided funding for skills training in green jobs and healthcare jobs via four Solicitations for Grant Applications (SGA): Healthcare and Other High Growth and Emerging Industries (HHG); Pathways Out of Poverty (POP); State Energy Sector Partnerships and Training (SESP); and Energy Training Partnerships (ETP). In early 2010, 152 grantees were awarded an average of $4 million to $5 million for two- or three-year grants. This interim report presents a descriptive analysis of eight of the 152 sites that implemented these grants, based on in-person site visits. The eight sites were selected purposively and are not representative of the overall grant program. Detailed summaries of the findings obtained from each of the eight site visits are presented in the Appendix.
