TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

The College offers a variety of programs to help your organization stay competitive by developing leaders through customized workforce development training and services. Online and in-person opportunities are available and are taught by experienced industry professionals.

WORK-BASED LEARNING

We partner with local businesses to develop more robust talent pipelines through work-based learning opportunities. Whether it’s an internship, job shadowing, or clinical practice, our business partners have an opportunity to train and observe potential employees.

EMPLOYER FUNDING

Your organization may qualify for funding to offset the cost of providing customized workforce training to current employees. In addition to providing a critical needs assessment and offering trainings for upskilling and customized modules, we will also support obtaining funding.

MANUFACTURING

We are tackling talent pipeline challenges by collaborating with local employers and industry organizations in identifying in-demand career skills in manufacturing. This will allow us to develop and deploy quality training and student supports to better connect workforce supply and demand.

Orange County Food Training and Education Center (FoodTEC) is a workforce and skills development training and education center located at SUNY Orange on the Newburgh campus. We can provide the training you need to land your first job or get a better job in the Hudson Valley’s growing food, beverage, and hospitality industry.

Longer-term planning calls for food industry certificate training, general workforce readiness training, mid- and upper-level management training, apprenticeships, entrepreneurial support and resources, and food-based community development for food manufacturers.
