New York State is embarking on a transition to an inclusive, clean energy-powered economy. All residents, businesses, and communities across the state will have access to new opportunities to benefit from this transition including clean energy careers, home improvements, and even rebates for businesses and personal transportation. But there’s a lot of information out there, and people may not know where to start.

To help New Yorkers access and navigate these opportunities, NYSERDA created the Regional Clean Energy Hubs. Clean Energy Hubs connect people to the clean energy economy. Each economic region in the state has a Hub of its own. You can find yours here: https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Regional-Clean-Energy-Hubs/Find-Your-Clean-Energy-Hub-Today

One role of the Hubs is to facilitate an effective clean energy workforce pipeline, which empowers job seekers, improves diversity and inclusion in the field, supports local businesses, and enables New York State to physically build the infrastructure needed to reach its clean energy goals.

As experts in empowering and accommodating people with disabilities, it’s important for your local Hub to hear from you! An improved clean energy workforce must prioritize people who have historically been shut out of such careers. It is known that unemployment and underemployment are significantly worse for people with disabilities than people without. New York will create an estimated 200,000+ jobs through the clean energy transition, which makes this an excellent opportunity to build the necessary knowledge and accommodations into training and hiring from the outset.

If you are located in the Mid-Hudson Valley, you may reach out to Cal Trumann (cal@nyforcleanpower.org) to begin discussing involvement in the regional Clean Energy Hub’s workforce development efforts. Elsewhere in the state, please consult the NYSERDA website to find your Hub representative.
