"The Climate Corps didn’t employ people directly — it was actually a loose network of mostly preexisting positions across a slew of nonprofits, state and local governments, and federal agencies, with many different sources of funding. Take away the “#AmericanClimateCorps,” and little changes. The jobs survive, even if the branding doesn’t."

$2 billion program from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda includes option to create career pathways that advance environmental justice through #AmericanClimateCorps.

"After facing setbacks in Congress, the Biden administration has unlocked funding to launch its #AmericanClimateCorps, a new federal program that looks to employ thousands of young Americans in the clean energy, conservation and climate resilience sectors.

The corps will host a number of “virtual listening sessions” in January to engage young people, hear their priorities and discuss on a local level how best to implement the program."

Young adults show heavy interest in #Biden's "#ClimateCorps" https://www.axios.com/2023/12/01/biden-climate-corps

"Even before formal applications open, over 2,500 young people have signaled interest in joining a major unit of the federal #AmericanClimateCorps program. This is an early metric of the Biden administration's ability to transform its recently unveiled ACC into a meaningful initiative... It aims to bring youth into #CleanEnergy and #climate resilience jobs — and create paths to future #employment."

"The additional goal of the #AmericanClimateCorps is decarbonization—which will in turn create more #jobs by juicing the green economy, including the booming #HeatPump industry."

#Biden launches #ClimateCorps that will create 20,000 #jobs
#AmericanClimateCorps was originally included in #InflationReductionAct, but was dropped because of Republican opposition. #Climate Corps members complete a paid training program so that they can go on to jobs in public and private sectors. US is going to need thousands of skilled workers to ensure rapidly growing #cleanenergy economy, and it deserves nothing less than government-backed deployment of this scale

#AmericanClimateCorps will put a new generation of Americans to work conserving our lands and waters, bolstering community resilience…”..members will gain the skills necessary to access good-paying jobs that are aligned with high-quality employment opportunities after they complete their paid training or service program.”

"While the plans are exceedingly modest for now, the Climate Corps could be a means for Biden to make his environmental agenda resonate with younger voters still smarting from the administration’s approval of the #WillowProject.

With #homeownership and major asset purchases still solidly out of reach for many younger voters, the #AmericanClimateCorps #jobs might offer tangible benefits to those left out of the IRA."

The #AmericanClimateCorps would employ about 20,000 young adults. It prioritises workforce #diversity.

The initiative will provide #JobTraining and service opportunities to work on a wide range of projects that tackle the #ClimateCrisis, e.g. restoring #CoastalWetlands; deploying #CleanEnergy projects such as wind and solar power; managing forests to prevent catastrophic #wildfires; and implementing #EnergyEfficient solutions to cut energy bills for consumers."
