Earlier this year, the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), through the leadership of the Ohio Electrical Labor Management Cooperative Committee (OLMCC), were awarded an Energy Training Partnership Grant.

The GROWs project provides training for workers that prepare them to enter the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries. The grant is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
