The DOE announced the selection of 17 new Industrial Assessment Centers (IAC) and the inaugural cohort of 10 Building Training and Assessment Centers (BTAC). Selectees are expected to receive a combined $40.8 million, made possible by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to expand training opportunities for in-demand, high-quality jobs while identifying opportunities for organizations to save energy, improve productivity, and reduce waste. Selectees will also work with hundreds of industrial facilities and buildings across more than 25 states and territories, expanding the existing network to 54 IACs and 10 BTACs. These programs will broaden paths to clean energy careers that do not require a four-year degree. Seventeen of the 27 selected programs are based at community colleges, trade schools, and labor unions, including several apprenticeship programs. Thirteen of the 27 selectees include Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI).
