Draft Pre-Solicitation Workshop for IDEAL ZEV Workforce Pilot: Training, Employment and Recovery

The California Energy Commission (CEC) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will host a remote-access workshop to seek feedback on a Draft Pre-Solicitation Concept for the Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, Accessible, and Local Zero-Emission Vehicle Workforce Pilot: Training, Employment and Recovery Solicitation (IDEAL ZEV Workforce).

CEC and CARB staff will discuss concepts for a competitive grant solicitation to be issued by the CEC’s Clean Transportation Program. The purpose of this workshop is to solicit public comment for a funding opportunity of up to $6 million for projects that support zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) workforce training and development in equity communities.

The workshop will only be held remotely, consistent with Executive Orders N-25-20 and N-29-20 and the recommendations from the California Department of Public Health to encourage physical distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the direction in these Executive Orders. There will be opportunities for public comment.
