Queens College Students Complete Workforce Program Amid Clean Energy Transition
Queens College students have successfully completed the Student Workforce Development Program, supported by Hydro-Québec, coinciding with New York's clean energy transition following the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) project. This initiative aims to equip students with skills and opportunities in the growing green economy, crucial for the region's renewable energy future.

The Student Workforce Development Program culminated with certificates awarded to participants who will intern with sustainability-focused companies. This initiative, funded by a grant from Hydro-Québec, is crucial as New York City transitions to renewable energy, notably after the CHPE, which will supply 20% of the city's clean hydropower.
The program connects students with essential training and industry leaders, promoting pathways into the green economy. The growth of Queens as a clean energy hub emphasizes the importance of local communities benefiting from this transition. Investing in workforce development is vital for sustaining the clean energy sector.
