The clean energy sector is a natural next step, given the growing efforts to combat climate change, the rising investment in clean energy jobs, and the reported challenges that employers face in finding qualified candidates to fill those jobs.  \nThe Pay for Success Clean Energy Training project addresses these challenges by providing training in clean energy jobs to individuals earning low wages and facing other barriers to employment.3 MDRC is working with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Social Finance (a nonprofit organization that works across the public, private, and social sectors to create partnerships and investments that measurably improve lives) to evaluate the employment and earnings impacts of the training as part of the Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for  \nADVANCING THE CLEAN ENERGY WORKFORCE THROUGH SKILLS TRAINING  \n2  \nResults Act (SIPPRA) . SIPPRA is a project of the U. S. Department of Labor and U. S. Department of the Treasury. This brief provides an overview of NYSERDA’s SIPPRA project, highlighting the participating training providers and the evaluation structure, and noting both the project’s successes and challenges.  \nBackground  \nNYSERDA’s mission is to advance clean energy innovation and investments to combat climate change, improving the health, resiliency, and prosperity of New Yorkers, and delivering benefits equitably to all.4 In pursuit of its mission, NYSERDA supports numerous clean energy training programs by providing funding for technical training and job placement services to training providers across the state. In 2021, NYSERDA was awarded a contract under the SIPPRA Act through which it will be reimbursed for some of the funding it provides to clean energy training providers if the training is determined to be successful by an independent evaluator.5 (See Box 1 for details on SIPPRA’s “pay for performance” funding model.) MDRC is acting as the independent evaluator on this project. Social Finance provides technical assistance to the training providers to help them with marketing and recruitment, collects data on their performance, and periodically brings the providers together in a “community of practice” so that they can learn from each other.  \nNYSERDA’s mission is to advance clean energy innovation and investments to combat climate change, improving the health, resiliency, and prosperity of New Yorkers, and delivering benefits equitably to all.  \nBox 1. What is the “Pay for Success”Model?  \nProjects funded by the Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) must implement the Pay for Success Model, in which the government will reimburse up-front funding, in the form of outcome payments, if projects are determined to be effective based on an independent evaluation.*  \nTypically, for a project like the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) SIPPRA project, Social Finance would raise private investment funds to pay for the upfront costs of training. Those investors would then be reimbursed if the training led to a positive impact on earnings. Because reimbursement will only be provided if the impact is statistically significant, and because of the risks associated with that, Social Finance decided not to raise private funds for this project; instead, NYSERDA funded","cbCairBnVxMFU9oS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBnVxMFU9oS","pdf",1673772,"English","# Background\n## What is the “Pay for Success” Model?\n# The Evaluation\n## Impact analysis and implementation study","[{\"question\":\"Why does the clean energy workforce training project focus on skills training?\",\"answer\":\"The project responds to adults’ difficulty finding jobs that pay enough to support families and to employers’ reported challenges filling qualified clean energy roles.
