Our training programs
Climate Tech Academy
Clean energy career pathways & placement for new and transitioning workers entering building electrification.
Learners build clean energy fundamentals, data literacy, and BMS/BAS pathways, then move into readiness for real clean energy roles with placement support.
Tech & AI Literacy
A practical AI & technology on-ramp for career seekers, early professionals, contractors, and trade-trained participants.
A hands-on introduction to usable AI workflows, digital communication, and documentation, so participants gain confidence adopting technology to streamline real work.
Helping workforce organizations run on better technology
As a workforce technology intermediary and operational partner, we're shaping this through community engagement, harvesting real needs before turning them into programs. Follow along and contribute.

We design work exposure, not empty promises
LIFE3 doesn't promise employment. We design training that creates practical work exposure, stronger readiness, and clearer next steps, so learners move forward with real momentum.
What you walk away with
Our programs are built backward from what employers in clean energy actually ask for.
Work you can show
A capstone project built on real program data, something concrete to bring into an interview.
Tools employers use
AI workflows, data literacy, and building systems fundamentals, taught on the platforms the field runs on.
Direct employer exposure
Work-based learning, mock interviews, and introductions across our partner network.
A pathway, not a certificate
A clear next step into building automation, energy data, and technology roles that keep growing.

Our training carries a real cost, and our funders cover it. When a cohort is funded by New York's clean energy and workforce agencies, including NYSERDA, the NYC Mayor's Office through NYC Accelerator, and NYPA, participants pay nothing out of pocket. Availability depends on active funding, and some programs are delivered as paid engagements. We confirm cost and eligibility with you during application.
No. Our programs are built for new and transitioning workers. Tech & AI Literacy is a practical on-ramp for career seekers, early professionals, contractors, and trade-trained participants.
You finish with a capstone project on real program data, hands-on exposure to the tools employers use, and direct introductions through our partner network. Capstones, work-based learning, and placement support are built into the program.
