Gov. Cuomo has proposed the hiring and training of more than 1,000 new workers to install"green" building technologies to combat climate change.  The governor says his "Career Pathway Training Partnerships" will offer training programs in high efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and electric heat pump technologies to prepare New Yorkers for the growing number of job opportunities in the clean energy industry. The partnerships will target training over 1,000 workers and prioritize the state's most underserved populations, including low-income New Yorkers and those residing in environmental justice communities, helping support the state's economic recovery.
