The Joint Office Shares New EV Workforce Development Resource

“Job opportunities continue to grow alongside the transportation industry’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The Joint Office has launched a new webpage on workforce development. This new platform contains resources to support workforce development activities for an electrified transportation system, making it easier for your community to plan and execute a clean energy future.” The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is actively promoting equitable deployment of EV charging infrastructure and mobility access, emphasizing job opportunities in the transitioning transportation industry. Recognizing the growing demand for diverse EVs, the Joint Office, in collaboration with federal partners, is dedicating $9.9 million through the Ride and Drive Electric funding opportunity for workforce development. This initiative supports seven projects focusing on EV-related job training, community-based outreach, and certification programs, ensuring a skilled workforce for the evolving electrified transportation sector. The Joint Office aims to contribute to a Made-in-America, electrified transportation system while creating high-quality, well-paying job opportunities aligned with Justice40 and underserved communities.
