Learn about Buffalo’s newest workforce training super center! The approximately 80,000 square-foot- facility houses administrative space, classrooms, and industrial shops/labs designed to train and turn out highly-skilled members of the local workforce to meet the requirements of the 21st century advanced manufacturing and electric utility industries. This industry-driven training facility is focused on closing the skills gap of the local labor pool while also creating on-ramps to training, co-ops, internships, apprenticeships, and permanent employment for Western New Yorkers seeking advanced manufacturing and energy careers. Our tour will take us to the areas that are complete and open for visitors and give us a glimpse at the progress on classrooms and labs set to open in the fall.
