Won asks for $600M green career pathways breakdown

Can you give us a clear breakdown?

Because through the both testimonies from Talent and from EDC, we heard snippets of small amounts of money under $10 million spent here, spent there.

Can you give us a clear breakdown of the $600 million that has been allocated for the Green Economy Action Plan and where that money is going?

So to clarify, the $600 million, as you mentioned earlier, is a reflection of the investment from the city, state, federal, and private funding for the implementation of the Youth Young Adult Action Plan.

And that was released in December 2023 and was reflective of the FY24 funding.

Now, that funding was to support all sorts of youth workforce development programming, which include, but is not exclusively limited to, investments in the green economy.

So that $600 million was tied to youth workforce, but that includes, say, like summer youth employment program.

Right.

So what is the breakdown of the $600 million that is specifically for green workforce development?

So we don't have the specific numbers because some of the programming, like SYEP, for example, right, for that fiscal year was over $200 million.

And SYEP, we just worked with DYCD and the painters DC9 to have a SYEP program.

And so DC9 will be hosting.

30 different young people this summer.

And so that's one example where we're having young people get exposure to and learn from a job that is contributing to the green economy.

But because it's part of SYEP, we don't have that specific.

Okay, so with all of those different overlaps that you have, how much of the 600 million is for green new jobs?

We would have to get back to you on some of the specifics if we can break it down to that.

Okay, can someone on your team please do that right now?

I'm going to pass it back to Chair Maloney.
