Clean Energy Workforce Act

This bill would have the Secretary of Energy, working with the Secretary of Education, award competitive grants to partnerships of schools, colleges, and community and industry representatives to create or expand career and technical education programs in clean energy, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and climate change fields. It would also create competitive grants for schools and colleges to evaluate and improve the energy efficiency of their career and technical education facilities, use renewable energy practices, and buy energy-efficient equipment for teaching. A peer review committee of educators and industry experts would recommend which applicants receive grants. The bill would authorize $100 million for the Secretary of Energy to carry out these programs.
