Mastering New Heights at National Grid ⚡️
More than a dozen students in HVCC's Electrical Construction and Maintenance program have been putting in the work at the National Grid Training Facility in Schenectady, wrapping up two weeks of intensive pole-climbing certification.
These students are running through the exact safety protocols they will use every day on the job as electrical utility professionals, including rescue simulations to ensure everyone gets home safely.

WRGB CBS 6 News, Albany recently stopped by to feature these students as they build the skills necessary to fill high-demand roles in our local workforce.

🌟 Celebrating success in advanced manufacturing! 🔨
The Office of Workforce Development and Community Education recently hosted a special ceremony to celebrate the latest graduates of the Advance 2 Apprenticeship® program. This milestone event honored 10 dedicated adult learners for their successful completion of the pre-apprenticeship initiative, featuring remarks from faculty, regional economic leaders and employer partners who continue to support the next generation of the manufacturing workforce.

Advance 2 Apprenticeship® is a no-cost program offered in partnership with the Center for Economic Growth and the Capital Region Workforce Development Board. It provides essential skills for careers in advanced manufacturing through hands-on technical instruction. To ensure student success, the program also removes common barriers by providing support services like childcare, transportation assistance, tutoring and work attire.

We are so proud of these graduates and the hard work they have put into reaching this achievement! See more from the ceremony: https://portfolio.hvcc.edu:8095/advance_2_apprenticeship_completion_ceremony_7-1-2026/ #/
