GFO-26-601 - Charger Service Skills Accelerator

The California Energy Commission is offering a competitive grant to develop and expand a workforce training accelerator focused on electric‑vehicle (EV) charger service skills. Applicants must propose a consortium that includes a worker‑voice representative, an employer, and an educational provider, and must deliver a curriculum covering installation, commissioning, testing, maintenance, repair, and de‑commissioning of EV chargers, along with career‑pathway and supportive services. Up to $6 million is available, with individual awards ranging from $500 k to $3 M, and a required 25 % match‑share (cash or in‑kind). The project must be completed by 30 June 2030, and all deliverables (reports, plans, curricula, and final public summary) are outlined in the schedule of products.
