CANTON -- SUNY Canton will receive $298,000 in state funding to enhance its Solar Ready Vets program on site at Fort Drum.
The training provides a “micro-credential program in renewable energy specifically for veterans transitioning to civilian life,” said a press release from the state.
The money statewide is being used “to fund two initiatives that will promote clean energy workforce development and training programs on SUNY campuses,” the press release from the governor’s office said.
Nearly $6 million was awarded to SUNY campuses to train more workers in the clean energy sector. In addition, a request for proposals was made available to all SUNY campuses for grants totaling $9 million to provide apprenticeships, internships, and educational programs and support through industry partnerships across the state. These initiatives are part of Climate Jobs NY, a component of Clean Climate Careers initiative, said the press release.
