Westchester Magazine recently featured the work of the Clean Energy Action Coalition’s (CEAC) Workforce Working Group in an article that explores the burgeoning field of clean energy workforce training and local initiatives that prepare residents for high-demand “green-collar” careers.

The article emphasizes that as New York State pushes toward ambitious climate goals, the need for skilled technicians in sectors like solar installation, geothermal heating, and electric vehicle infrastructure has never been greater.

A key focus of the story is the collaborative effort between government agencies, non-profits, and business leaders to bridge the skills gap. CEAC, an initiative of the Business Council of Westchester, is credited with demystifying clean technology for the public and local businesses, ensuring that the transition to sustainable energy is supported by an informed community and a robust pipeline of local talent.

The piece also details various fully funded training programs and scholarships available through partners like Sustainable Westchester and the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board, which aim to make these career paths accessible to underserved populations.
