Community colleges offer clean energy training as climate-related jobs expand across America

DANVILLE, Illinois (AP) — On the south side of Chicago, students learn to work on Rivian electric pickup trucks and SUVs through a new technician program at Olive-Harvey College.

About 150 miles (240 kilometers) south, students at Danville Area Community College in Illinois are taught to troubleshoot massive wind turbines dozens of meters tall, along with climbing and safety.

In Albuquerque, students train on wiring and fixing solar panel installations through Central New Mexico Community College’s electrical trades courses.

And in Boston, students study how to toughen homes and buildings against extreme temperatures at Roxbury Community College’s Center for Smart Building Technology. The focus is on automating and modernizing heating and air conditioning systems so they contribute less to climate change.

All are examples of how students across the United States look to community colleges for up-to-date training for the increasing number of jobs in climate solutions — from electrification, to wind and solar, to energy efficiency, weatherization, protecting water and farmland and more.

Kyle Johnson has long enjoyed working on gasoline-fueled cars. But automobiles are increasingly electric.

“When it came to EVs, I knew that the times are changing, and I didn’t want to be left behind,” said the 34-year-old, now enrolled at Olive-Harvey. “Climate change has a lot to do with my decision.”

The warming planet is fueling the interest of many students like Johnson. The job market was already changing as more businesses sprang up to address climate change, and now legislation, including the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act , is adding more investment, meaning they’ll have plenty of jobs to pursue. Millions of clean energy workers are needed to meet ambitious targets that governments and companies have set to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, so many of these job opportunities are growing faster than overall employment in the U.S .

Instructor Brian Lovell has seen that firsthand.

“While the students are still in the program, they get employed because the demands of industry are so acute,” he said of Roxbury. “We’ve seen an extreme uptick over the past few years.”

Of course, job seekers can also pursue workforce training through local employers and labor unions to gain skills for clean energy trades. But community colleges, taking their cues directly from companies in their regions and from state economic development and labor departments, quickly tailor hands-on training, pairing it with academics, for jobs that are open.

“Over half of these jobs are going to require less than a bachelor’s degree and more than a high school diploma,” said Kate Kinder, executive director of the National Council for Workforce Education. “That’s prime community college space.”

The prospects draw in students like Tannar Pouilliard, who remembers a wind farm quickly popping up near his childhood home. He had thought he would become an automotive technician, but learning about opportunities in wind led him to enroll in Danville’s wind energy technician courses.

“Turning wrenches and all that stuff, it’s always kind of what I’ve wanted to do. It’s just a broader opportunity,” he said. “It really opens the door for people out here for jobs.”

At the same time, the bigger picture for community colleges is that they have been losing students , not unlike the rest of higher education. Currently, more people are entering the workforce straight out of high school, and some community colleges haven’t recovered from the dip in enrollment that happened during the pandemic. It’s why some schools say investing in these programs is a balancing act between staying relevant and risking a bet on too-nascent technology.

“We feel the pressure,” said Monica Brummer, director of the Pacific Northwest Center of Excellence for Clean Energy at Centralia College in Washington. “If we create curriculum today for, say, a hydrogen technician, it may not be the curriculum we need in two or three years, because the technology is changing so fast ... I say let’s weave the technology in existing classes.”

Some schools hope to adapt without shelling out for expensive new tools and specialized instructors, who can be hard to come by. Minnesota’s Inver Hills Community College launched a climate change certificate in 2022, pulling from existing areas of study at the school and administrators are considering expanding that. Similarly, Cape Cod Community College recently shifted from specialized workforce training to a broader sustainable energy certificate that students across areas of study can pursue.

Other community colleges focus on helping students like Sarah Solis transfer to a four-year degree related to climate change.

The 1,000-acre Inglewood Oil Field, near West Los Angeles College, where she first enrolled, was what pushed Solis to pursue environmental studies. She later switched to the school’s climate change degree, which was new at the time. Its climate offerings have grown since then; it now hosts the California Center for Climate Change Education.

Solis transferred to the University of California, Davis, earning a degree in environmental science and management. But she credits her success today teaching urban farms how to sustainably adapt for a warming future — like adding cover crops or using compost — to her community college experience.

Many other students do, too.

″It was completely life changing,” Solis said. “I would not be an environmental scientist right now if I hadn’t gone to West.”

This story has been corrected to refer to Centralia College, rather than Centralia Community College.

Education, job training hub coming to Historic Westside

Officials broke ground in Las Vegas’ Historic Westside for a College of Southern Nevada facility designed to help people get into high-demand industries.

A higher education and job training facility is coming to Las Vegas’ Historic Westside.

For now, the site of the College of Southern Nevada’s future Historic Westside Education and Training Center is a vacant lot adjacent to the Historic Westside School.

But officials on Tuesday morning dug into a pile of dirt to signify a major hurdle cleared: an official groundbreaking ceremony.

“We needed higher education in our community,” said Las Vegas Councilman Cedric Crear, who represents the neighborhood. “We needed to say ‘CSN’ on the side of the building.”

That building will be a 15,000-square-foot hub for credentialed job training in manufacturing, health care, technology and construction trades, officials said.

“The training programs are focused on key high-demand, high-wage industries that will provide participants with pathways directly into career fields, and align with college degree programs,” according to the city.

The center, which is being constructed by Builders United, has a price tag of $16.4 million, the city said. Part of that funding came from a multimillion-dollar grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, officials noted.

‘Building up communities’

“Today is about building up communities, not tearing them down,” said Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., at the ceremony, which was attended by about 100 people.

He pointed out how the attention to development in the Las Vegas Valley has historically been focused on the Strip.

“For too long, the projects got built on the other side of the freeway and not on this side,” Horsford said about the long-neglected, impoverished and predominantly Black Historic Westside. “For too long there were projects that were proposed and they always made their way to other places.”

CSN’s satellite campus forms part of the city’s 100th Plan spearheaded by Crear for the neighborhood.

The councilman, who is running for mayor , noted other investments, such as the upcoming mammoth library being built in the area, housing units and funding from the city and Clark County towards the new and expanded Mario’s Westside Market .

Crear said the center’s location is vital for neighborhood residents, noting that longer commutes to higher education campuses are an impediment for some.

“This center exemplifies how higher education can adapt to meeting the needs to our community,” said Nevada System of Higher Education Chancellor Patty Charlton. “This is a great start.”

CSN President Federico Zaragoza spearheaded the project, which is similar to one he implemented in San Antonio as a college administrator.

Crear said city officials visited the Texas city to look at the fruits of Zaragoza’s initiative.

Zaragoza said higher education institutions typically “run away” from underprivileged neighborhoods.

“This is an important journey in all higher education,” he said. “We need to be in locations like this.”

Zaragoza will soon retire from CSN.

“This to me is a very special for so many ways, but more importantly because it is the one project that I was hoping I could get past the gate before I left,” he concluded.

The student’s lawyers claim he was threatened, discriminated against at UNLV, amid taunts from pro-Palestinian protesters and inaction by the administration and Board of Regents.

A two-story, 40,000-square-foot STEM university building that will include classrooms and a large lecture hall was unveiled by Spaceport CEO Robert Lauer.

NHSE Regents expressed doubt that UNLV’s plans to enter into a 99-year lease for 42 acres of land near the Las Vegas Strip is the most productive option for the university.

Speakers at a Board of Regents meeting expressed disappointment in a lack of response from the board and UNLV leadership on a recent commencement speech.

Nicholas Bott, 44, had been facing a felony charge of child abuse and a gross misdemeanor count of contact with a minor.

The Education Department announced the latest round of cancellation on Wednesday, saying it will erase $7.7 billion in federal student loans.

Google held a doodle contest to celebrate its 25th anniversary. A Las Vegas student’s entry is one of 55 competing to make the national finals.

Art by Las Vegas Valley students from elementary, middle, high school and college will be voted on through June 5 for the first-ever Sphere XO Student Design Challenge.

A Clark County School District substitute teacher accused of handing a student inappropriate notes reportedly admitted he was infatuated with her.

Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School had $25,000 in marching band equipment stolen from its marching band and color guard trailer last week.

‘The jobs are out there’ as business, education gather at Tech Foundry to talk training

SPRINGFIELD – Career exploration at the beginning of every school term with ample opportunities for hands-on internships are just two solutions to the state’s work force woes.

“We have a lot of students with difficulty connecting what they are learning to a career,” said Jay Ash, CEO of the Mass Competitive Partnership during a roundtable discussion organized by Tech Foundry on May 23. “Imagine if we had a state where education is matched with employment.”

The Trade School Trend: Why it Might be the Best Personal Financial Decision

Opting for an occupation in the trades can be a money-smart decision as you're learning – and for the future.

Compensated on-the-job training is one of the major benefits of the skilled trades, experts say.

Key Takeaways

• Traditional college and university degrees can be very expensive and lead to debt, while jobs can be scarce.
• Jobs in the trades tend to be secure.
• Training for trade jobs can be affordable, if not free or paid.
• Skilled trades offer the opportunity to do important hands-on work.

Four-year colleges and universities are getting considerable competition these days: Institutions that teach trades are rising in popularity. The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reported that enrollment in vocational programs rose by 16% from 2022 to 2023, a trajectory that's continuing this year.

With the cost of traditional college high and the job market for those with degrees uncertain, learning a valuable trade quickly and inexpensively has become appealing.

Here are the financial reasons many are opting for a program that will prepare them for a career they love in a field that’s hiring.

Post-Degree Financial Stress  

According to a 2024 Strada Education Foundation and the Burning Glass Institute report , 52% of recent four-year college graduates are underemployed a year after graduation. Ten years later nearly half still don’t work in a field that requires a four-year degree.

Although higher education has many intellectual rewards, some common majors don’t equip graduates with job-ready skills or sustainable salaries.

For example, per HeyTutor’s 2024 data for jobs in mass media, often a stepping stone to a career in journalism, there is a 7.8% unemployment rate, 55.2% underemployment rate and a median early-career wage of $35,000. People who graduate with liberal arts degrees (humanities, social sciences, physical sciences and arts) experience unemployment rates of 6.7%, underemployment rates of 58.4% and a median early-career wage of just $33,400.

This is particularly problematic when student loans come into play. An Education Data Initiative report found that the average federal student loan debt balance in 2024 is $37,088, but escalates to an estimated $39,981 when private loans are included.

With minimal career demand and low-paying positions in their fields of study, making ends meet while repaying loans can be extremely stressful.

Career Retractions Versus Job Surges 

Additionally, layoffs are prevalent in previously growing and secure sectors, like technology. The tracking website Layoffs.fyi found that 1,191 tech companies laid off 263,180 employees in 2023. So far in 2024, 293 tech companies have laid off 84,060 workers.

Many skilled trade jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s degree , however, are increasing.

Kodi Wilson is campus director of National Technical Institute, a state-approved trade school with campuses in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Houston. NIT provides affordable, fast-track training in HVAC, plumbing and electrical, and Wilson says it's seen year-over-year growth over the last two years.

“Starting all the way back to Covid, people began really looking for stable careers,” Wilson says. “There was a realization that there was opportunity in the trades because of the employment gap. There are more jobs than employees, so wages in the trades have climbed in the last few years.”

Indeed compiled a list of the highest-paying vocational jobs between 2022 and 2032, with projected growth of at least 4%:

• Wind turbine technician - 45% increase, $58,005 per year
• Solar installer - 22% increase, $69,422 per year
• Industrial mechanic - 13% increase, $69,637 per year
• Respiratory therapist - 13% increase, $104,437 per year
• Ultrasonographer - 10% increase, $131,161 per year
• Dental hygienist - 7% increase, $99,013 per year
• Cable technician - 6% increase, $70,714 per year
• Electrician - 6% increase, $62,739 per year
• Construction manager - 5% increase, $88,319 per year
• Real estate appraiser - 5% increase, $64,075 per year
• Licensed practice nurse - 5% increase, $59,125 per year
• Aircraft mechanic - 4% increase, $82,476 per year

Fast and Affordable Trade Training

Tuition-based education can take place at a specific trade school, and it's often affordable for most students. For example, Wilson says a complete training for any of the programs at NTI is less than $10,000.

Colleges that offer vocational programs are another option, says Kolina Painter, executive director of marketing for Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wisconsin, which offers a wide array of one- and two-year programs in diverse fields like accounting, pipe welding and automotive electrical.

“With flexible learning options, like at Lakeshore, students can often set their own schedule and pace, meaning it will take less time to complete their credential,” Painter says. “That timeliness equates directly to less money borrowed and getting into full-time employment in a field they love sooner.”

Vocational colleges exist all over the U.S., with programs designed to prepare students for immediate employment at a very low cost. Los Angeles Valley College, for instance, has a respiratory therapist program with a total price of $5,200, excluding books and student health care fees (and this career is in one of the fastest-growing and best-paying trades).

High-tech educational options are also emerging, slashing costs and time. For example, Interplay Learning, based in Austin, Texas, developed virtual reality training programs specifically for essential skilled trades like solar, safety and plumbing.

“We’ve trained 170,000 students so far, and each year we’re seeing an increase,” says Dan Clapper, a director for Interplay Learning. “We see high school kids for career exploration and early-career-age people, but also people in mid-career looking to switch to the trades.”

Free and Paid Trade Training 

Cassie Pound, co-owner of Quality Heating, Plumbing & Cooling in Tulsa, Oklahoma, says jobs are available right out of educational programs, but formal training is not always necessary.

“Depending on the job, you can work as an apprentice,” Pound says.

“After a certain amount of time and hours you will get licensed. For heating and air, you will need three years of on-the-job training to become an HVAC tech or installer without any type of schooling. You learn on the job and get paid. The trades aren’t always easy, but they can be very lucrative,” she adds.

To find a program, look into ApprenticeshipUSA , through the U.S. Department of Labor.

In fact, compensated on-the-job training is one of the major benefits of the skilled trades, says Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, CEO of JVS, a Bay Area nonprofit that offers career training programs.

“Many people don’t know they have access to hands-on training and apprenticeships where they get paid to learn,” Countryman-Quiroz says. “When folks find out, they think it's a scam. It’s not, though. Instead of leaving college with six-figure debt, they have no debt and a good job.”

Fears of being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) can also be relieved.

“A lot of jobs, like in health care and culinary, are not replicable by AI, so these are safer paths,” Countryman-Quiroz says.

Such security is also enhanced by the trades often being connected to labor unions, which may be attractive to those who seek protections, stability and a potential to have a voice in the workplace.

Don’t Discount the Trades

According to Clapper, the skilled trades offer vital economic mobility to a wide variety of people. “These jobs are great for people who immigrated to the U.S., dropped out of high school or college,” he says. “They give everybody an opportunity to break out of minimum wage.”

Closing the gender gap is particularly exciting to Pound, who started a podcast, Power Women of the Trades, to inspire more women to consider such occupations.

“Jobs like plumbing were only a man’s job for too long,” she says. “Starting can be intimidating, but we’ve noticed more women getting into it. Fully licensed plumbers can definitely make over $100,000 a year, and some are union jobs.”

Pound says the trades, especially the more physical jobs, shouldn’t be seen as an alternative to college but as a first choice.

"The U.S. is dependent on trade workers,” she says. “You’re helping with infrastructure, keeping water flowing, buildings cool, the power going. You’re working with your hands, outdoors, solving problems. This is very important work.”

As for GenZers who are just leaving high school, advocates for the trades are touting the benefits. “We are boots on the ground talking to youth who are exploring options,” Pound says.

When kids learn how much they can earn soon after high school, it piques their interest.

"There’s a range for salary potential, but for the areas we work in they can begin with $70,000, $80,000 and $90,000 to more than $100,000 without owning any student loans,” Countryman-Quiroz says. And that, she says, definitely gets young people's attention.

Nonprofit to host job fair at nas jacksonville to help veterans transition out of military, into workforce.

Brianna Andrews , Reporter, weekend anchor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A national nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans transition out of the military and into the workforce will host a career fair at the Naval Air Station Jacksonville.

Transitioning out of the military and into the workforce can be very challenging.

A study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation found that 53% of veterans are unemployed for four months or longer after leaving the military.

Tim Best, a veteran and CEO of Recruit Military, aims to make that transition seamless. The nonprofit hosts nationwide career fairs for veterans.

“When they transition, I really think they have a couple of sets of issues, that they deal with. One is kind of classic right, it’s the hey I’m changing jobs, I’ve got to figure out how to translate my skills and experiences,” Best said.

Best’s own struggle with transitioning inspired him to launch this organization.

“I was an attack helicopter pilot in the Army, and I ended up going into the recruiting field, but I knew nothing about it. But was educated on how my skills and abilities could translate to different industries,” Best said.

Education is a critical step in Recruit Military’s strategy — to place veterans in the right jobs.

So far, they’ve helped more than 730,000 veterans nationwide, across all branches.

“We feel like a big part of that education is helping servicemembers understand their why. Helping them uncover what they really enjoy doing. What they’re really good at. And then we try to do the same thing for the employers to help them uncover that in their conversations as well,” Best said.

Investing in skills and training to support a Future Made in Australia - The Hon Brendan O'Connor MP

Skills and Training

The Government is introducing several measures in this Budget to continue to address skills shortages and build the strong and highly skilled workforce needed to deliver a Future Made in Australia. It includes measures to support the net zero transformation, empower First Nations people to access education, training and employment, and support women achieve flexible, safe and inclusive work and training opportunities in male-dominated industries. 

The Government will invest a further $265.1 million over 4 years from 2024-25 for the Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System , to continue supporting apprentices in priority occupations. Under the revised Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System:

• Apprentices undertaking training in priority occupations will be eligible for $5,000 to assist with cost-of-living and incentivise them to finish their training.
• Employers taking on apprentices in priority occupations will be eligible for $5,000 to help subsidise costs associated with employing an apprentice.

The Government will also invest $91 million over 4 years to improve the capacity of the clean energy training system and increase the number of trainees and apprentices in clean energy occupations. This will include funding for initiatives to:

• establish a $50 million, Commonwealth co-contribution, capital and equipment investment fund to upgrade clean energy training facilities
• expand the clean energy teacher, trainer and assessor workforce
• target activities that expedite the take-up of clean energy apprenticeships, by expanding the eligibility criteria for the New Energy Apprenticeships Program, with eligible apprentices receiving direct financial supports up to $10,000
• establish climate careers promotion activities across government, industry, civil society, and the education and training sectors, and
• undertake a scoping study on using Australia’s international education sector to tackle critical skills shortages, through work integrated learning and apprenticeships where domestic training capacity permits.
• reimburse Group Training Organisations that reduce their fees for small and medium enterprises who engage an apprentice training in the clean energy, manufacturing and construction industries. 

The Government will invest over 4 years, commencing in 2024-25:

• $55.6 million in the new Building Women’s Careers program, which will drive structural and systemic cultural change in work and training environments, and
• an additional $10.6 million to support the implementation of the Australian Skills Guarantee , to help train the next generation of skilled workers.
• $4.4 million in 2024-25 to help raise community awareness of Fee-Free TAFE  courses in areas of high skills need, also boosting the status of VET and encourage the uptake and use of VET pathways.   

The Government will provide funding to grow Australia’s construction workforce and boost housing supply  through:

• This measure includes working with jurisdictions to support 5,000 people to access pre-apprenticeship programs , designed to give students an experience of working in construction-related trades.
• Streamlining skills assessments for around 1,900 potential migrants from countries with comparable qualifications who want to work in Australia’s housing and construction industry, and prioritising processing of around 2,600 Trades Recognition Australia skills assessments in targeted construction occupations.

In addition, the Government is delivering on reforms recommended by the Australian Universities Accord, including through:

• reforming the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) and other income contingent loan programs, including VET Student Loans and Australian Apprenticeship Support Loans , to make them fairer.
• a new Commonwealth Prac Payment will provide $58.2 million over 4 years in cost-of-living relief for eligible VET students studying a nursing qualification and undertaking mandatory placements.
• committing $15.9 million specifically for VET across the next 4 years to improve tertiary collaboration, laying the foundations for broader reforms, including through improving credit recognition between VET and higher education, improving regulatory approaches for dual sector providers and pilot the Australia Skills Quality Authority delegating VET course accreditation to selected TAFEs. 

Other Government investments in this Budget include:

• Investing $30.2 million over 5 years from 2023–24, in partnership with central Australian communities and the Northern Territory Government, to co-design and establish a network of Remote Training Hubs .
• Providing $6.1 million for careers information and policy through the National Careers Institute in 2024-25.
• Providing an additional $9.5 million in 2024–25 to Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) , to continue providing independent advice on current, emerging, and future workforce skills and training needs. 

Employment and Workforce

The Government is taking incremental steps in the 2024–25 Budget towards larger scale reform of the employment services system. These measures are an initial response to the immediate issues identified through the House of Representatives Select Committee on Workforce Australia Employment Services, and include:

• The Real Jobs, Real Wages initiative will invest $32.1 million to support people who are at risk of long-term unemployment into secure work via a tapered wage subsidy over 6 months.
• The WorkFoundations  initiative will invest $21.9 million to assist people with complex barriers to employment to build their work readiness, with funding for social enterprises and businesses to deliver paid employment placements of up to 6 months with tailored, wrap-around supports.
• Funding will be redirected to these initiatives by reducing Employment Fund credits and ceasing the Workforce Specialists initiative. Existing Workforce Specialist projects will continue to be delivered until completion.
• The Government will invest a further $68.6 million over 5 years in the Digital Services Contact Centre to provide better support for people using Workforce Australia Online. This will strengthen service delivery to Workforce Australia Online Service participants by Australian Public Service personnel. From June 2024, $27 million will be redirected to support individuals on the digital services caseload by reducing the credit amount allocated to the Digital Employment Fund as new participants commence, from $300 to $250.
• The Government will also provide $10.9 million over 4 years for critical improvements to the Workforce Australia IT system . This funding will benefit people seeking work by reducing the administrative burden on employment services providers, allowing them to spend more time delivering employment supports.
• For Australians who receive income support payments the Government will make changes to better recognise people’s individual circumstances with more appropriate mutual obligation rules.
• The Government will make adjustments to strengthen the integrity of the employment services system and provide stronger safeguards for clients while it undertakes consultation on broader reforms to the employment services system.
• The Government will invest $76.2 million over 5 years in a new employment program to improve the transition from prison to work for First Nations people , building on the Time to Work Employment Service.
• The Broome Employment Services will be extended until June 2027 with an investment of $3.7 million from 2025-26.

The Government’s 2024-25 Budget also includes measures to deliver a systematic and positive economic transformation to Net Zero for Australian workers, industries and communities:

• The Government will invest $134.2 million over 4 years from 2024-25 to support communities likely to be affected by the transition to a net zero economy .
• The Government will seek to develop Regional Workforce Transition Plans , developed with communities, state and local governments, employers, workers and unions to support the delivery of place-based supports and services in affected regions.

Workplace Relations

The Government is introducing additional measures to protect workers and support small businesses to comply with workplace relations laws. These initiatives support the Government's recent workplace relations reforms to boost wages and conditions and create safer workplaces, including the Closing Loopholes Acts and the prohibition of the use of engineered stone.

Measures include:

• The Government will provide $20.5 million over 4 years from 2024–25 to boost the Fair Work Ombudsman's Employer Advisory Service,  make it ongoing, and to provide additional supports for small business.
• The Government will provide $27.5 million over 4 years from 2024–25 to continue the Fair Work Ombudsman’s  work to respond to self-reported non-compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009 by large corporate employers.
• The Government will provide $1.9 million over 2 years from 2024–25 to the Fair Work Ombudsman, to increase monitoring of the payment of relevant Award wages to seafarers on foreign vessels engaged in coastal trading under a Temporary Licence.
• The Government will recalibrate the Fair Entitlements Guarantee Recovery Program to deliver increased benefits to employees. The department will actively pursue unpaid superannuation guarantee charge (SGC) amounts owed by employers who have entered liquidation or bankruptcy, for employees that have applied for Fair Entitlements Guarantee assistance. The department expects to recover an additional $56.6 million in SGC debt over the forward estimates, which will be received by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and paid to employees’ superannuation funds (excepting SGC administration fees). This will achieve efficiencies of $13.0 million over 4 years from 2024–25.
• The Government will provide an additional $60 million of funding over 4 years from 2024–25 for the Productivity, Education and Training Fund grant program , to continue supporting employer and worker representatives to engage with the government’s workplace reforms and educate their members.
• The Government will provide $2 million over one year to fund initial work by a Victoria-hosted project office to progress development of a harmonised national labour hire licensing scheme across all states and territories. 
• The Australian Government will legislate to prohibit the importation of engineered stone into Australia . The Government will provide funding of $32.1 million over 2 years from 2024-25 for Australian Border Force to enforce an import prohibition on engineered stone. This will complement the domestic prohibition on the use of engineered stone under Commonwealth, state and territory work health and safety (WHS) laws.
• The Government will provide $1.5 million over 4 years from 2024–25 to support the establishment of the Family and Injured Workers Advisory Committee .
• The Government will provide additional funding of $1.5 million over 2 years from 2024–25 to support a comprehensive, independent review of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 , which underpins the Comcare workers’ compensation scheme.
• The Government will provide $13.2 million over 3 years to provide targeted assistance to increase the number of builders accredited under the Work Health and Safety Accreditation Scheme available to work on Housing Australia Future Fund and National Housing Accord Facility projects.
• The Government’s new Energy Industry Jobs Plan  will support workers in coal or gas-fired power stations scheduled for closure to find new jobs that suit their skills and experience. The Fair Work Commission will receive $2.1 million over 4 years to administer the creation of ‘communities of interest’ of closing coal or gas-fired power stations and employers that are dependent on them in impacted regions.  

Review of policies and programs to ensure quality spending

The Budget identified the following responsible savings measures to ensure quality spending can be redirected to other portfolio measures. These include:

• $47.3 million over 5 years from 1 July 2024 by ceasing the Harvest Trail Services and Harvest Trail Information Service programs.
• $3.5 million over 2 years from 2023-24 by reducing the scope of the engineered stone communication campaign, consistent with market research on public awareness of the engineered stone ban. 
• $4.7 million in 2023-24 by reducing the scope of the second stage of the Business Research and Innovation Initiative - Automatic Mutual Recognition of Occupational Registrations .
• $3.9 million over 4 years from 1 July 2024 by ceasing the Integrated Information Service program .
• $6.1 million over the forward estimates by ceasing the International Skills Training courses program .
