          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Widening Opportunities to Recapture Key Energy Roles Act or the WORKER Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill directs the Department of Energy (DOE), when considering awards for existing grant programs, to prioritize education and training for energy and manufacturing-related jobs. Further, DOE must prioritize the education and training of underrepresented groups in such jobs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In carrying out the bill, DOE must establish a clearinghouse to (1) maintain and update information and resources on training and workforce development programs for such jobs; and (2) provide technical assistance for states, schools, and other specified entities. DOE must also conduct outreach to minority-serving institutions of higher education and dislocated energy and manufacturing workers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--tinycomments|2.1|data:application/json;base64,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--&gt;</text>
