Deployment of clean transportation technologies requires a prepared and trained workforce. The CEC, through the Clean Transportation Program established workforce-training programs to increase awareness of environmental benefits of clean transportation technologies and economic benefits of clean transportation economies and workers. An Interagency Agreement with the Employment Training Panel and other state workforce entities provided a workforce training foundation for the CEC to initiate the requisite worker training to advance alternative and renewable fuel and vehicle technologies. The CEC provided a total of $11,518,124 to the Employment Training Panel to conduct workforce training to eligible applicants.
