Looking to expand your knowledge of electric vehicles (EV) and get ahead in the growing EV workforce? SUNY Morrisville is hosting a one-day, in-person training, Electric Vehicles Part 1: Introduction & Safety workforce program, on Jan. 17, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at the college’s Automotive Technology Facility.

This hands-on training will utilize two electric vehicles purchased through a Green Workforce Grant, giving participants access to state-of-the-art equipment designed to prepare the next generation of clean-energy professionals.

Tuition is $400. Program assistance is available. To register, call 315.684.6390 or email workforce@morrisville.edu.

This training is part of SUNY’s broader efforts to build a skilled green workforce and support New York’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan. Through the grant, SUNY Morrisville has also installed a charging station inside the Automotive Technology Facility, for instructional use, with additional plans for an outdoor charger for instructional and community use.

The non-credit EV training course and future offerings will eventually lead to credit-bearing microcredentials, currently in development through the grant.
