The New York State Clean Energy Internship Program and the On-the-Job Training Program are workforce development initiatives offered through NYSERDA. The programs focus on enhancing the talent pipeline for New York State businesses engaged in the clean energy industry by facilitating the placement of students and recent graduates into paid internships and by supporting the hiring and training of new full-time workers. NYSERDA reimburses eligible businesses for a percentage of wages for the participating interns and new hires.

Businesses submit an online application to apply for both programs, and applicants may be approved for one or both programs depending on eligibility criteria.

Once approved, participating businesses submit an application for each individual they wish to hire in order to apply for funding.

These instructions cover the steps of the application to become a participating business.
