As the nation’s largest urban university, CUNY has committed itself to environmentally sustainable practices in every aspect of its operations, from renewable energy use, to construction and retrofitting of current facilities, to procurement of equipment and supplies. Developing and offering education and training programs for individuals, unions, employers and other organizations is an important component of that commitment. No single institution offers the depth and range of knowledge in so many sustainability-related fields, and the capacity to offer programs related to each of those fields to as broad a range of audiences. With 23 colleges throughout the five boroughs, serving 242,000 degree program students and over 230,000 continuing education students, CUNY has unmatched capacity to offer sustainability training programs to individuals, unions, employers and other organizations.
These programs include Green Energy Training at CUNY (GET@CUNY), a program that offers existing training courses related to energy efficiency, building retrofitting, and renewable energy technologies. GET@CUNY also develops new training courses, and makes them available as credit and non-credit modules at multiple CUNY campuses and partner locations. Some of these courses will also eventually be offered as distance learning courses.
The Center for Sustainable Energy at BCC coordinates this effort, with courses delivered at multiple CUNY colleges, including Bronx Community College, Kingsborough Community College, LaGuardia Community College, New York City College of Technology, Medgar Evers College, City College of New York and Borough of Manhattan Community College. This training is bolstered by the university's robust investments in research through its ‘Decade of Science’ and its extensive relationships with industry, workforce development and labor organizations, enabling us to keep our finger on the pulse of workplace and community needs as we continue to develop our green energy training programs.
