Supported by New York State Homes and Community Renewal (NYS HCR), the program will be deployed state-wide across various SUNY and CUNY campuses. This funding includes significant allocation for student stipends and support, promoting access for non-traditional students who may not otherwise be able to participate.
The program will actively seek connections with SUNY and CUNY academic programs and their diverse student bodies, creating opportunities for both matriculated and continuing education students to explore career paths within the building performance sector as part of the energy transition.
