Description
Through this
Funding Opportunity Announcement, DOE intends to fund university-led
Traineeship Programs that address workforce training needs in the early-stage
technology area of advanced materials and process technologies of high
importance to manufacturing. The following objectives guide the Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Advanced Manufacturing Office’s (AMO)
traineeship efforts: • Advance the DOE mission – Traineeship programs are
designed and implemented to advance specific Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math (STEM) workforce competencies required for the DOE’s unique mission to
ensure America’s security and prosperity by addressing its science and energy
challenges, particularly with regard to advanced manufacturing. • Address
priority STEM workforce needs and identified gaps in early-stage advanced
manufacturing technology – Traineeship programs focus on advancing those
critical STEM disciplines and competencies specifically relevant to the AMO
missions where other U.S. Government or academic workforce development programs
either do not exist or where DOE-relevant early-stage technology areas are not
being leveraged to support specific DOE mission responsibilities. The high
priority topic identified in this traineeship program is advanced manufacturing
(advanced materials and process technologies in
manufacturing).
