WETO is looking to support education and training programs that offer (a) apprenticeship readiness programs, (b) registered apprenticeship programs, or (c) maritime/mariner programs, with particular attention to programs that support underserved communities. Recipients of this funding can include local or state governments, Tribes, workforce boards, institutions of higher education (especially Minority Serving Institutions), organized labor, industry, or other education and training providers that further education and training programs as they relate to the deployment of offshore wind in the United States. Successful applicants will have hiring commitments from employer partners. These awards will build upon existing training infrastructure and consider regional variability.

Purpose: The Objective Strategic Session (OSS) is an opportunity for potential performers and interested parties to learn more about PIA opportunities facilitated by ConnectWerx via webinar. DOE will provide an overview of the opportunity and additional details directly to OSS participants. OSS participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunity directly to DOE and ConnectWerx.
