Morrisville State College's Renewable Energy Training Center (RETC) will hold a workshop on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency at four different locations from Nov. 6 to 17.
The first workshop will be held on Nov. 6, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Syracuse Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), with video conferencing taking place at the Rochester and Buffalo EOC locations.
The second workshop will be held on Nov. 9, from 6 to 9 p.m., in room 132A of Follett Hall at the Norwich campus.
The third workshop will be held on Nov. 11, from 6 to 9 p.m., in room 104 B of Shannon Hall at the Morrisville campus.
The fourth workshop will take place on Nov. 17, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Herkimer County Community College.
Each workshop will cover how renewable energy technology has continued to progress and create job and career opportunities during times of economic instability. The seminar is designed to serve as basic training in the different fields of renewable energy, as well as point participants in the right direction for furthering their training and education.
All four workshops will be presented by Jim Stanko, an RETC instructor with 30 years of experience in the field as a project manager and product marketing manager, investigating and selecting product-market opportunities for power conversion technology.
These workshops are free for participants who meet Department of Labor (DOL) eligibility requirements.
