Description
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) administers Equity Workforce Training Implementation Grants through its Workforce Development offerings. The program supports career pathway training, career preparedness, and planning or capacity activities, with equity and environmental justice central to its workforce focus. It aims to build job-training and support capacity for climate-critical sectors while creating opportunities for underserved individuals most impacted by climate change.
The Equity Workforce Fund supports employment and career advancement for people from Environmental Justice neighborhoods or low-income communities, members of federally recognized or state-acknowledged tribes, communities underrepresented in the clean energy workforce, and current or former fossil fuel workers. This work advances occupational sectors critical to Massachusetts’ 2030 and 2050 climate goals.
