New York State has set one of the nation’s most ambitious goals for transitioning to renewable energy and the NYC Carpenters Union is leading the way. With state-of-the art training and certifications, we are creating the workforce of the future who will build the energy systems of the future.

Offshore wind energy in New York is projected to create tens of thousands of jobs for skilled workers. To meet the expected demand in the clean energy sector for skilled trades workers including, piledrivers, millwrights, commercial divers, and general carpenters, the NYC Carpenters Union is investing in training programs to prepare its members for opportunities in both offshore and onshore projects. This preparation is crucial to ensure that workers are ready to take advantage of the opportunities in this growing industry.

Overall, the NYC Carpenters Union is committed to advancing job opportunities in the green economy and preparing its members for high-quality renewable energy jobs with good wages and benefits, and a secure future.
