Launch Your Career in Clean Energy with the CPBE Program
New York is leading a clean energy revolution. More than 50,000 buildings must transition from oil and gas to clean electric heating and power. This transformation is creating thousands of high-paying jobs that need skilled workers like you to make buildings more energy-efficient and sustainable.
Even with this growing demand, many students have limited exposure to clean energy technologies and career opportunities. Unions also report that many high school graduates entering training programs struggle with math and reading readiness, making it difficult to succeed.
That is where the Career Pathways in Building Electrification (CPBE) Program comes in.
About the Program
Through a partnership between Bronx Community College (BCC) and the Bronx Academy of Design and Construction, and funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), CPBE provides the skills, certifications, and support you need to launch a career in clean energy.
Students will gain:
- Hands-on, real-world training with modern building systems.
