SPARC: Strengthening Photovoltaic and Renewable Careers | Department of Labor & Employment SPARC: Strengthening Photovoltaic and Renewable Careers The Strengthening Photovoltaic and Renewable Careers (SPARC) Workforce Development Program was established to support the statewide goal to position Colorado as a leader in the clean energy economy by setting a path to reach 100% renewable energy for the electric grid by 2040.
To support this effort, the SPARC program provides high-quality education and training opportunities to create high-paying jobs that ultimately support the protection of Colorado’s environment. Jobs in clean energy are growing in Colorado and across the country. The range of work in the clean energy sector is extremely broad.
There are opportunities to work on energy production, storage, and transmission; energy efficient building construction and renovation; the development and installation of solar, wind, and other forms of renewable energy; manufacturing and maintenance of zero emission vehicles; and the developing alternative clean fuels.
The State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education along with the Department of Higher Education are creating opportunities in training, apprenticeship, and educational programs to increase career pathways in the energy sector. Colorado Workforce Centers are supporting this effort by connecting students and job seekers to clean energy opportunities at community colleges in their region.
Those interested in exploring their options are encouraged to reach out to the following designated SPARC Navigators or by visiting their local workforce center . Arapahoe/Douglas Works! (AD Works!)

Impact Aid Discretionary Construction (84.041C) opened September 8 with a November 10, 2026 deadline. The absolute priority admits emergency repairs only, the $8M ceiling is unreachable for most eligible districts because of a separate $4M four-year cap, and nearly half the 100-point rubric is arithmetic drawn from your district's federal property share. Here is how the scoring actually works.

Eligibility is scoped to countries with signed Agreements on Reciprocal Trade with the United States, and Bangladesh is explicitly excluded. That design tells you more about the program than the funding amount does.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
