On-the-Job Training for Energy Efficiency and Clean Technology

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is offering wage‑subsidy incentives to eligible energy‑efficiency and clean‑technology employers who hire and train new workers on‑the‑job. The program reduces the financial risk of hiring, provides retention bonuses for the first year, and compensates employees for industry certifications. It targets individuals from disadvantaged communities and works in partnership with the New York State Department of Labor. • Wage subsidies offset a portion of employee salaries during the first year of employment. • Additional compensation is provided for successful completion of industry‑recognized certifications. • The program emphasizes hiring from disadvantaged and priority populations to meet state energy‑workforce goals.
