SyracuseCoE Team Recieves Enitiative Grant for Green Jobs Project
SyracuseCoE's Assistant Director of Operations Dr. Lisa Cleckner and Hanah Ehrenreich of CNY Works have been
awarded an Enitiative grant to provide green workforce development
training. This project will provide opportunities for
students, contractors, business owners, and other professionals to
obtain accreditation as green building professionals. Enitiative funds
will offset training and exam costs for the US Green Building Council's
Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design so that
individuals can become LEED accredited professionals.
Enitiative is Syracuse University's Entrepreneurship Initiative. Its latest funded projects are part of a $3 million, five-year grant awarded to Syracuse University by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City, MO, as part of its Kauffman Campuses initiative. The Foundation's vision is to foster a society of economically independent individuals who are engaged citizens, contributing to the improvement of their communities. SyracuseCoE Members Morrisville State College, SUNY-ESF, and the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce also received grants. For a full list of recipients click here.
