Climatetech Careers Fund Grant

The Climatetech Careers Fund Grant, initiated by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, aims to enhance education and workforce programs in clean energy sectors. Partnering with Social Finance, the Fund focuses on facilitating access to high-quality training for in-demand climate careers such as HVAC/R technicians and electricians, ensuring individuals receive tailored support for their unique needs. This initiative is crucial for building a skilled workforce to meet the growing demands of the clean energy industry.

The Opportunity
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center seeks to support the development and scaling of education and workforce programs for clean energy occupations. Social Finance, a national nonprofit organization and a Securities and Exchange Commission registered investment adviser (SF Advisors, LLC) with over a decade of experience designing and managing complex, long-term partnerships and investments in collaboration with the public, private, and social sectors has proposed to partner with MassCEC to create a Massachusetts Climate Careers Fund. The Fund would aim to help participants access and persist in high-quality training for in-demand climate careers like HVAC/R technicians, electricians, energy auditors, and EV mechanics, by flexibly covering individuals' specific needs.
