Applications for the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s (NJEDA) Green Workforce Training Grant Challenge will open on Thursday, August 8. The $7 million grant program aims to prepare New Jersey residents for careers in the green economy, with a focus on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion and serving overburdened communities.
The Grant Challenge is a competitive funding opportunity where applicants will submit proposals outlining their plans to develop and implement workforce training and skills programs focused on strengthening and diversifying the state’s green economy. Grants ranging from $250,000 to $1.5 million are available. Awardees may use funds to cover design, planning, capital, and implementation costs for training programs in green economy industries.
Entities that can provide skill development, workforce training, job placement, and other related services are eligible to apply. Applications will open on August 8, 2024, and close on October 8, 2024. An informational webinar will be held on Monday, August 12 at 2:00 p.m.
