New York, NY (October 9, 2025) – WPTI is proud to announce that it received its first-ever grant from Con Edison as part of a $15 million philanthropic effort to support community-based organizations across New York City and Westchester County to help ensure all New Yorkers benefit from a more sustainable energy grid.

"Con Edison is committed to supporting and partnering with these community organizations working every day to improve the quality of life for people in the neighborhoods we serve," said Jen Hensley, senior vice president, Corporate Affairs of Con Edison. "These grants, funded by our investors, highlight the impact of local action in driving climate solutions and creating equitable opportunities for all New Yorkers."

Workforce Professionals Training Institute (WPTI) is proud to announce that its Foundations in Workforce Development—a 9-course, self-paced online series—has been approved for one elective credit in Youth Studies at the City University of New York School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS).

“Programs offered by external partners undergo a rigorous vetting process before CUNY SPS awards credit for prior learning, and WPTI’s e-courses were an easy ‘yes’ for us,” said Jennifer Sparrow, Interim Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at CUNY SPS. “We are thrilled to offer this high-quality learning opportunity to our students.”
