Workforce Development for Nonprofits Grants

This funding opportunity supports organizations in Illinois to create and manage apprenticeship programs in the electric industry, focusing on training and career pathways for diverse and economically disadvantaged populations.

The "Promoting a Just Transition for All Workers" grant is currently being developed to support fair changes in the workforce, with updates and further details to be provided via the Grants.gov subscription service.

This program provides training and job placement support in clean energy for individuals in Illinois Department of Corrections facilities who are nearing their release, helping them secure employment in the clean energy sector.

The Illinois Clean Jobs Workforce Network Program will identify a network of at least 13 Illinois Clean Jobs Program delivery hub sites (“Workforce Hubs”) throughout the State to recruit and provide clean energy and related workforce training to jobseekers. Workforce Hubs will engage with potential employers, community-based organizations, educational institutions, and community-based and labor-based training providers to ensure program-eligible individuals across the State have dedicated and sustained support to enter and build clean energy careers.
