Workforce Development Programs from NYSERDA
Workforce development and training are essential components of building a resilient and equitable clean energy economy that is inclusive of all New Yorkers. Simply put, New York State cannot reach its clean energy goals without the trained workers to translate these goals into action. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is preparing the current and future workforce to meet the demands of clean energy jobs.
NYSERDA offers funding and support for job seekers, training partners, and clean energy businesses in areas such as:
Training building and operations staff to properly operate and maintain building systems
On-the-job training for new clean energy workers
Supporting internships for students looking to gain hands-on skills at a clean energy company and climate justice fellowships to support efforts in disadvantaged communities.
Enhancing curricula and providing technical training to meet the demands of clean energy employers
Establishing a talent pipeline that can reduce the cost of hiring new workers.
