This bill establishes the Power Generation Training Center within the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, aimed at training individuals for employment in both nuclear and non-nuclear power generation industries. The center will operate through a public-private partnership involving various stakeholders, including educational institutions, labor unions, and utilities. Its responsibilities include developing curricula, providing training and apprenticeship opportunities, supporting workforce pipelines for underserved communities, facilitating certification programs, and aligning educational pathways with industry needs.

The governance of the center will be overseen by a nine-member board, which includes representatives from the Department of Labor, the Secretary of Higher Education, the Board of Public Utilities, and appointees from the Governor and legislative leaders. The executive director, appointed by the board, will manage the center's operations and staff. The bill also allows the Department of Labor to utilize funds from the Global Warming Solutions Fund and other sources to support the center's initiatives. This legislation is seen as a necessary step to address New Jersey's declining energy generation capacity and to prepare a skilled workforce for future energy production.
