NYSERDA’s On-The-Job Training for Energy Efficiency and Clean Technology program provides wage subsidies to eligible businesses to help reduce the financial risk of hiring and training new workers.

Businesses must submit a New Hire On-the-Job Training Application for each individual they would like to hire and bring through the program. All new hire applications must be submitted to NYSERDA no later than 7 days after the new hire’s start date to be eligible for funding.

To complete the application, you must have a Training Plan signed by the New Hire and a representative of the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL). Your NYSDOL Business Service Representative can provide assistance in developing the Training Plan. Please provide your DOL Business Service Representative a 5 business day lead time to ensure successful completion of a hire's hires training plan , which can include intaking, phone calls, signatures, and requesting of documents or changes to the training plan. The Training Plan form is located on the PON 3982 Solicitation page.

Pre-requisites: Before proceeding with the below steps to submit an On-the-Job Training Application, a business must first have their Business Application to participate in the Clean Energy On-the-Job Training Program approved and must have received a Salesforce Portal login.
