We cannot reach our climate goals without New Yorkers like you to transform these goals into action.

Our actions and investments are creating new economic activity right here in New York. The clean energy industry is growing before our eyes and the number of clean energy jobs in New York State reached an all-time statewide record of 178,000 workers through the end of 2023. This recent growth is part of a larger trend in the State, with more than 32,000 jobs added since 2016.

Careers in the green economy are not just for trained engineers and contractors. If you are ready for a rewarding career with better pay, benefits, and opportunities to grow, New York State offers training and internship programs (opens in new window), as well as career development resources (opens in new window), that can help give you a fresh start. We even offer specialized training to help experienced workers from fossil fuel industries transition into clean energy jobs.
