Establishes construction workforce recruitment and training program in DOLWD.
This bill creates the "Go Build" program within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD). The program aims to increase public awareness of and access to construction careers and training by providing education about the industry, offering workforce training for construction trades, and recruiting workers for both training programs and jobs. Key mechanisms include marketing through media and websites, partnering with construction companies and schools, and consulting with similar programs in Alabama and Georgia. DOLWD must report on the program's progress and effectiveness to the Governor and Legislature within five years. The initiative directly affects New Jersey residents seeking construction careers and the state's workforce development system.
