Funding Job Training: Grants for Forestry Careers in Rural Communities.
This law establishes a federal grant program, managed by the Department of Agriculture, to fund career training in the forestry and forest products industries. These grants target small, rural, low-income communities to create career pathways, address an aging workforce, and encourage young people to stay in the region. Citizens in these areas stand to benefit from access to new, stable, and skilled job opportunities.
Key points
Grants ($500,000 to $2,000,000) are available for non-profits, local governments, and colleges to run forestry training programs.
Programs must operate in small, low-income rural areas (20,000 inhabitants or fewer) that have or plan for high-speed internet access.
Priority is given to projects that partner with high schools and demonstrate success in placing trainees into forestry jobs, aiming to combat youth migration.
