SUNY Morrisville will offer a one-day, in-person training session on electric vehicles (EV) as part of its efforts to support the growing demand for clean-energy professionals. The program, titled “Electric Vehicles Part 1: Introduction & Safety,” is scheduled for January 17 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the college’s Automotive Technology Facility.
The training will feature hands-on experience with two electric vehicles that were acquired through a Green Workforce Grant. These vehicles provide participants with access to modern equipment aimed at preparing them for careers in the clean-energy sector.
Tuition for the course is set at $400, and assistance is available for those who qualify. Interested individuals can register by calling 315.684.6390 or emailing workforce@morrisville.edu.
According to SUNY Morrisville, this initiative aligns with SUNY’s larger strategy to develop a skilled green workforce and contribute to New York State’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan. As part of the grant, the college has installed an EV charging station inside its Automotive Technology Facility for instructional purposes and plans to add an outdoor charger that will serve both instructional needs and community use.
The current non-credit EV training course is expected to be followed by additional offerings that may lead to credit-bearing microcredentials, which are under development through grant funding.
