Today, the Biden-Harris administration is taking critical steps to advance the American Climate Corps, a landmark initiative announced by President Biden in September 2023 to train the next generation of clean energy, conservation and climate resilience workers, while putting them on a path to good-paying union jobs.
As part of this commitment, the Department of Labor joins six federal agencies – the departments of Commerce, Interior, Agriculture, Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and AmeriCorps – in a Memorandum of Understanding that will serve as a blueprint for the multiagency program. The memorandum lays out the mission, goals, priorities and next steps for implementing President Biden’s American Climate Corps.
