The New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is seeking proposals for technical training, experiential learning, job placement, and supportive services that enable New York State to meet the requirements of a clean energy economy and advance the climate equity and just transition goals of New York’s Climate Act. The purpose of this solicitation is to strengthen the pipeline of skilled talent for the Energy Efficiency and Clean Technology labor market. Projects funded through this solicitation are intended to develop and/or deliver technical training, relevant education, and hands-on experience to ensure that both new and existing workers, apprentices, journeypersons, and students, as applicable, have the skills, experience, and qualifications required to meet industry demand.

Total funding for this solicitation is $7 million, distributed over the course of multiple rounds. It is anticipated that approximately $2.7 million of the funding will be reserved for training activities that support building electrification.  Additional funds may be added at NYSERDA’s discretion, if available.


All training must be designed to meet the needs of clean energy companies within, or providing services to, the System Benefit Charge/Clean Energy Fund (SBC/CEF) territories. Trainees must be residents of New York State. 

This solicitation uses a two-step application process consisting of a Concept Paper (required) followed by a Full Application (by invitation only).
