The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is pleased to announce funding for projects that will develop plans and projects to provide job training programs in the green economy to service Central Brooklyn.

To promote health and environmental improvement in Central Brooklyn, this RFA seeks proposals for job training programs in the green jobs sector. Education plays an important role in the success of communities to promote healthy living and improve environmental quality. As part of a larger investment in healthy food, education and youth development, and job creation in these communities, the Governor increased investments in creative education programs and DEC is requesting applications for the development of programs to provide new opportunities in Central Brooklyn in the green job sector. Applicants should submit proposals for education and training projects for occupational skills sought by employers in the above fields and should demonstrate local and industry demand for the skill set.

Proposals demonstrating a partnership with employers and proposals demonstrating that the proposed training will lead to the acquisition of a nationally-recognized green certification, a skill set certificate, a certificate degree, or a comparable award will receive additional points.

Applicants whom received funding through the 2017 Environmental Justice Green Jobs for Youth RFA or the 2018 Vital Brooklyn Green Job Training Grant are not eligible to apply for this opportunity.
