Public Service Electric & Gas’ Clean Energy Jobs Program, which aims to place 2,000 people from underserved communities in well-paying jobs that support New Jersey’s clean energy goals, was honored with a national Energy Equity Award from Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative, the company announced Wednesday.
The Energy Equity Award is a new category created by the SECC to acknowledge a provider that’s advancing a more equitable energy system.
PSE&G’s program, which is helping to meet the growing need for skilled workers in the state, already has placed more than 700 people at companies that support the utility’s energy efficiency initiative. Hiring will continue through the year, including a group of candidates currently participating in a six-month training course to prepare them for jobs at businesses that deliver energy efficiency services.
