“I see a lot of opportunity to connect the work of the Maintainers with existing workforce-development efforts in the Mohawk Valley, including the engineering technology programs at SUNY Poly and MVCC; and the engineering / technologies trade and technical programs at [Oneida-Herkimer-Madison] BOCES. Our goal under this grant is to support and enhance these workforce development efforts, in part, by highlighting the fact that these kinds of jobs — we think of them as ‘maintenance’ jobs — pay well, provide meaningful work for employees, and play a crucial role in sustaining economic growth in Central New York,” Russell tells CNYBJ in an email.
