Kelsey Misbrener at Solar Power World reports on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which finally puts bold clean energy goals within reach and is quickly changing the training landscape by tying substantial tax credits and other incentives to new Registered Apprenticeship requirements.  Misbrener further reports Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) will be a key tool for developing, scaling and sustaining a diverse pipeline of trained talent ready to power the rapid transition to a clean energy future.  The Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), which was recently named an Apprenticeship Ambassador by the U.S. Department of Labor, is working closely with industry and workforce intermediary partners to support clean energy employers navigating the Apprenticeship landscape.  The group recently launched a toolkit to provide employers and other stakeholders with the background information and supplemental resources needed to train the clean energy workforce through RAPs.
