My favorite moments of this year were meeting the fall Solar Works DC cohort<\/a> on their first day in September, and then seeing them all graduate the program 12 weeks later. They were just as full of passion for learning their last day as they were their first, and I was able to see how far they had come.<\/p>\n

Over the course of 12 weeks, the 22 trainees completed Photovoltaics 101, Photovoltaics Sales 101, CPR\/First Aid and OSHA 10 training, LEED Green Associates Prep, and job readiness workshops, earning industry relevant certificates, all while assisting GRID\u2019s Construction team in completing 24 residential and commercial solar installations. <\/p>\n

Less than two weeks after their graduation, six trainees have already received job offers in the solar industry!<\/a> Right now, 13 trainees are preparing for their NABCEP certification exam, and others are interviewing with local companies for solar installation, sales, and design openings. The hands-on in-depth training they received prepared them to launch their solar career. <\/p>\n

Your support helps trainees receive the hands-on training and experience needed to start their career in the solar industry. Consider making a donation to GRID today.<\/a><\/p>\n
