Employers
The successful buildout of the Clean Energy Workforce will rest on the support of existing businesses, and the creation of new ones. Our workforce development team works with employers to access funding programs for training new hires, and for upskilling existing employees. Whether your business installs solar, heat pumps, or EV chargers, we can help you access funds and programs that can help you build capacity and grow your business in this rapidly growing industry.
In keeping with the Hub’s emphasis on inclusivity and equity, workforce development funding and opportunities ensure that historically disadvantaged members of our communities are not left behind by New York’s energy transition. Our workforce development staff are trained on the various incentives available for ensuring a just and equitable transition.
On-The-Job Training Program. If your Clean Energy business is looking to grow, NYSERDA’s On-The-Job Training program can help facilitate that growth. The funding offsets a large portion of the employment costs for new hires during their first year. Contact our Workforce Development staff for additional information, or for assistance with applying.
