| Today's Graduates, Tomorrow's Clean Energy Workforce
While celebrating recent college commencements and high school graduations, it's a great time to reflect on just how important of a role the next generation of clean energy workers play in New York's journey to a clean energy future.
Today's graduates could be the individuals that: | |
- Build the electric vehicles that help lower emissions from our roadways

- Retrofit the buildings that improve the health and wellbeing of residential and commercial residents
- Brainstorm the next climate-saving clean energy technology
- Conduct the education and outreach to ensure that all New Yorkers benefit from renewable energy, regardless of geographical location or income level
| | |
| And that's just the beginning! As a State, New York has a responsibility to ensure these future change makers have the tools, knowledge, and training they need to succeed. Through our Workforce Development programs, we're working with businesses and community partners and educational institutions statewide to do just that. | |
