Energy storage is an emerging group of technologies that is enabling the operation of electrical vehicles, energy production systems such photovoltaics, wind, etc., electrical vehicles, and mobile electronic devices. As New York’s clean energy economy is continuing to rapidly expand and drive job growth, there is a need for skilled workers with necessary technical training to be hired by energy storage and clean energy industry in the Capital Region and in New York State.

Program Dates:
Group 3
Classroom Training: May 15-19, 2023
Laboratory Training: May 22-26, 2023
Who should attend: Recent High School graduates, two or four year College students or graduates, and unemployed or underemployed individuals seeking to learn about electrical energy storage and Li-ion batteries to find related jobs or to advance within their current job. Students will be trained in a two-week program offered in the Winter of 2023.
The workshop covers the fundamentals of energy storage technologies, giving you an understanding of battery cell manufacturing and teaching you the skills to manage storage units and innovate in this technology field. Faculty and industry experts will provide instruction through focused in classroom training and hands-on laboratory at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) in Albany campus and at the Ion Beam Laboratory at the University at Albany. Students will gain exposure to the aspects of building a battery from start to finish and use batteries in conjunction with power generation system such as PVs. Students will be able to engage in many different opportunities for experiential learning and internships. At the completion of the Workshop the students will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
