The following is an excerpt of a press release issued by the Department of Labor.

Secretary of Labor, Hilda L. Solis, announced five grant competitions, totaling $500 million, to fund projects that prepare workers for green jobs in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries.
“Emerging green jobs are creating opportunities for workers to enter careers that offer good wages and pathways to long term job growth and prosperity,” said Secretary Solis. “Workers receiving training through projects funded by these competitions will be at the forefront as our nation transforms the way we generate electricity, manufacture products and do business across a wide range of industries.”
Four of the competitions announced are designed to serve workers in need of training through various national, state and community outlets. The fifth competition will fund state workforce agencies that will collect, analyze and disseminate labor market information and develop exchange infrastructure to direct individuals to careers in green industries. Detailed information about these solicitations can be found on http://www.grants.gov.
