Daisy Meyer knows exactly what it takes to land a job in solar–she\u2019s done it. And now she\u2019s turning that experience into opportunities for others.<\/p>\n

Daisy got her start in solar as a PG&E Solar Fellow at GRID in 2015, one of a cohort of 40 AmeriCorp Fellows hired into GRID\u2019s SolarCorps program, eight of which were sponsored by PG&E. She spent a year learning the ins and outs of the industry and getting hands-on training and job experience. When she finished, she realized that the job she wanted was right here at GRID, helping others have the same chance she had been given. <\/p>\n

Since being hired on, first as Workforce Coordinator and now Workforce Development Manager for GRID Bay Area, Daisy has pioneered new and exciting workforce development initiatives. In her first year, she developed a Women\u2019s Training Intensive, a week-long program that includes hands-on solar training, visits to local companies, networking, resume reviews and interviews with local employers. It has since become an annual occurrence, and a model adopted by other GRID offices.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also developing strategies for reaching high schoolers through GRID\u2019s Solar Futures<\/a> program, to educate them about solar and inspire them to pursue careers in the industry. Earlier this month she helped organize an event with Oakland Charter School where students learned how to build solar-powered miniature cars to understand how the technology works. This year she\u2019s planning four solar installations with local high schools, culminating with a High School \u201cSolar Summit,\u201d where students will explore career opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I love most about my work is that I get to help people set goals, determine their learning styles, explore career pathways, and–most importantly–get the experience and training that will help them actually get jobs,\u201d Daisy said.<\/p>\n

Daisy is eager to continue helping job seekers throughout the Bay Area get connected to training and employment opportunities, encouraged by the positive outcomes of some of the initiatives she\u2019s piloted over the past two years. \u201cEvery time I connect someone with training, or with job opportunities, it reminds me that I\u2019ve come full circle,\u201d she said. \u201cPG&E helped me, and now I\u2019m in a position where I can help others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to PG&E for supporting GRID\u2019s SolarCorps program, and for helping fellows like Daisy get the experience they need to make positive impacts in the industry!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
