WPWDB 2026 Annual Meeting

About the keynote: Employers, job seekers, and training partners are at a pivotal moment to align the local workforce ecosystem with the growing opportunities in clean energy careers. The Green Launchpad (TGL) speakers Angela N. Son and Antuan Cannon, will open the meeting with a compelling State of the Clean Energy Sector keynote, followed by interactive breakout sessions featuring professional facilitation designed to bridge the gap between job seekers, training providers, and employers.

Attendees will gain a clear, data-driven understanding of the clean energy landscape specific to Westchester and Putnam counties. Moving beyond passive listening, participants will engage in structured discussions that foster deeper insight into workforce needs and opportunities within the sector.

All participants will leave with a strong understanding of how to engage with the green economy—whether they are hiring, seeking employment, or developing training programs.

Following the keynote, TGL will facilitate three concurrent breakout groups:

Group A: Jobseekers and Community:
Navigating Green Career Pathways—Identifying
transferable skills and entry points.

Group B: Employers: Building the Pipeline—
Discussing hiring pain points and accessing
incentives and wage subsidies.

Group C: Workforce Professionals and
Partners: System Alignment—How to better connect training to industry needs.
