When Rob heard about the training programs offered through NYSERDA’s Pay for Success Clean Energy Training project, he knew it was the perfect opportunity to further his career. Through his training, Rob was able to kickstart his career as a union HVAC technician, move out of the shelter system, and channel his talent toward a career that allows him to support his family.
