The Department of Energy is inviting public input through a Request for Information (RFI) concerning the strategic establishment of new training and assessment centers. This initiative is a precursor to potential future grants aimed at creating Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) within trade schools, community colleges, and union training programs. IACs will focus on assisting small to medium-sized manufacturers in enhancing energy efficiency, productivity, and waste reduction. Concurrently, the department plans the establishment of Building Training and Assessment Centers (BTACs) to improve energy performance in the built environment. This RFI is for gathering vital stakeholder feedback and insights to effectively design and implement these crucial centers, thereby cultivating a skilled clean energy workforce and advancing sustainable practices nationwide.
