Bill > HB1176

This bill establishes the Washington Climate Corps Network to support and grow climate-related service opportunities for young adults and veterans, with the goal of building low-carbon and climate-resilient communities, ecosystems, and economies. The bill directs the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board to establish a Clean Energy Technology Workforce Advisory Committee to advise policymakers on supporting the expansion of clean energy technology sectors and jobs, while mitigating the impact of climate change policy transitions on workers, employers, and communities. The bill also requires the Board to evaluate the workforce impact of Washington's climate policies and develop recommendations for necessary steps to support workforce training for clean energy technology occupations.
