Navigating the Inflation Reduction Act’s Labor Provisions in the Final Regulations

Deep Dive into the Updated Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship Requirements

 

THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 2024 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

 

The solar and clean energy industries are seeing a surge in demand for expertise on how to implement and comply with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s labor provisions. In order to receive full value of the 30% tax credit for solar and clean energy projects above 1 MW in size, projects must meet the IRA’s prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship requirements.

This workshop is designed for project owners/developers, EPCs, and subcontractors to better equip their HR managers, apprenticeship managers, payroll managers, on-site supervisors and others involved in their companies’ construction projects that fall under these requirements. This training will provide the practical knowledge and tools their companies need to implement and document their efforts correctly and achieve compliance. This workshop is inclusive of the ‘Final Rule’ guidance published on 6/25/2024.
