President Joe Biden wants $8 billion in taxpayer funds to support his green jobs training program for Americans.
Biden requested the funds for the American Climate Corps (ACC), a green jobs training program Biden established via executive action in 2023, in his budget request for fiscal year 2025. The government would provide the $8 billion over the course of the next decade with a goal to hire 50,000 people into the program each year by 2031, according to the budget request.
During Thursday’s State of the Union address, Biden stated that he intends to triple the number of participants in the ACC by the end of the decade. The idea of the program is to prepare Americans — particularly young people — to work in climate-related fields, including federal civil service jobs.
