Google today announced a $15 million Energy Impact Fund to help drive down monthly utility bills for households.
The Virginia-specific fund will support critical community projects like home repairs, weatherization, and energy-efficiency upgrades. As one of the fund’s first recipients, FLIPP Inc will use this support for the Trades Workforce Development Program, helping build a pipeline of skilled trade workers to deliver these upgrades where they are needed most.
“With the funds from Google, FLIPP Inc will be able to build upon our organizations existing programs, deepen the relationships with its employer partner network and shape a skilled workforce ready to deliver energy-efficient upgrades and critical home repairs across the Commonwealth.” said Raye Elliott, Executive Director of FLIPP Inc.
“Through Registered Apprenticeships, clean energy training and credentialing, FLIPP Inc is able to turn Google’s commitment to energy affordability into a permanent, sustainable career pathway in the skilled trades.”
