A Review of the President’s Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Request for the Department of Labor
A subcommittee hearing on the FY 2025 budget for the Department of Labor. The budget request is $13.9 billion, $10.3 billion of which is for the Employment and Training Administration.
Chair Tammy Baldwin
Witness:- Julie Su, Acting Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor
The Department of Labor is not directly funding the Climate Corps program. However, the Budget provides an increase of $50 million in apprenticeship programs, for a total of $335 million. This funding would expand access to existing Registered Apprenticeship programs in support of clean energy and climate-related industries and occupations.
The Budget provides $50 million as a set-aside within the Dislocated Worker National Reserve to launch the SECTOR program, which would seed and scale a comprehensive approach to sector partnerships, needed wraparound services, and training programs for underserved workers, with a particular focus on clean energy sectors, in support of Inflation Reduction Act implementation.
