The Families and Workers Fund, a project of the Amalgamated Foundation, has launched the Powering Good Climate and Infrastructure Careers Fund to ensure that the workforce components of implementation of U.S. federal climate investment laws succeed. The fund will use philanthropic capital as a catalyst to train and place workers into good-quality clean tech infrastructure careers.
