Partnerships to Accelerate Training & Hiring for Geothermal Heat Pumps

The GHP PATHs Prize is a $3,000,000 prize aimed to catalyze regional, outreach-focused partnerships to improve Geothermal Heat Pump workforce pipeline development. Different stakeholders in the GHP training and employment process will work together to either create or improve the GHP workforce pipeline in their region. Teams will determine a reasonable number of trainees that can complete new trainings, and develop a timeline and budget for their completion. Local GHP employers commit to hiring these trained workers for a minimum amount of time or projects. This three-phase Prize will launch late 2024, with specific dates for registration and submission deadlines outlined in the timeline.
