Workforce Development

We are offering training and hands-on experience to help entrepreneurs and workers in our communities succeed. This includes providing more opportunities in the growing clean energy sector to help train the new clean energy workforce. And for our younger community members, we are offering STEM education and youth training programs to give them the pathway toward a brighter future.

Our programs

We are working with New York State to create a more inclusive workforce by offering workforce development opportunities to employees.

Working together with five free SUNY Online Training Centers, we are giving young people more resources for their future education and/or careers, including $3 million in gateway grants to students transitioning to community college and the working world.

With the help of Ascend Long Island and Bloc Power, our incubation and accelerator programs are creating a more diverse workforce for the clean energy future and closing the gap in certified energy efficiency vendors.
