Establishes "Manufacturing Workforce Development Grant Program" for students enrolled at county colleges.
S 1337 establishes New Jersey's "Manufacturing Workforce Development Grant Program" to connect county college students with local manufacturing internships. The bill requires the Secretary of Higher Education to create this program, partnering county colleges with approved manufacturers to provide paid internships that count toward academic credit. Key provisions include directing 85% of grant funds to student stipends for internship hours and 15% to program administration and career counseling. Participating colleges must submit detailed applications showing how internships align with labor-demanding manufacturing careers and how students will earn employment offers or academic credit. The program mandates annual reports tracking student participation, skills gained, job placements, and fund usage.
