In Episode 132 of The Driller Newscast, anchor Brock Yordy and NY-Geo executive director Christine Hoffer discuss the association's 2024 initiatives and the incredible need for a reliant workforce to meet those initiatives. Christine and Brock discuss the vast opportunities available in the workforce as New York scales to hire a wide range of people—from workers transitioning from the fossil fuel industry to high school graduates choosing trade schools to become trained installers; the pathways to Ground Source Geothermal are endless. 

Many eyes are on New York as the state works to meet the goals agreed upon by the United States and the other 196 countries in the Paris Climate Agreement. The two discuss the excitement around the NY-Geo—NYC Conference and how vital the organization's partners, sponsors, and all the great experts who advocate for the success of Ground Source Geothermal are. The importance of the NY-Geo events is coming together to promote Ground Source Geothermal, all while having fun!
