Empowering the Manufacturing Workforce
Industrial Training and Assessment Centers(ITACs) leverage best practices in workforce development to train participants for in-demand energy and manufacturing jobs by providing hands-on technical assistance to small and medium-size manufacturers. Centers provide multiples on federal investment by reducing manufacturing energy costs, increasing the career trajectory of participants, enabling industrial decarbonization, and boosting the supply of qualified workers. ITAC impacts are broadly distributed as centers are located at four-year colleges, community colleges, trade schools, and union training programs.
