Through the SolarCorps Fellowship program, GRID IE provides a full-time, 11-month real-world experience to community members interested in pursuing a career in the climate action movement. <\/p>\n

Since graduating from the very first cohort of IBT 200<\/a> in 2023, Marco has continued to sharpen his solar installation skills by working alongside the Construction Team and providing hands-on support to trainees on active job sites.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to have clear and understanding communication,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> said Marco, who had the opportunity to work with diverse groups of trainees and develop his leadership skills on the roof. During installations that involved tile roofs, which are prone to breaking under pressure, Marco found that clear communication and leading by example were essential in ensuring trainees practiced safe techniques to complete the job.<\/p>\n

So far in his fellowship, Marco has seized every new opportunity\u2014including delivering a wonderful congratulatory speech during an IBT 200 graduation<\/a>. \u201cI am trying to learn and experience as much as I can,\u201d Marco said. <\/p>\n

Look for the final interview with Marco as he reflects on his 11-month SolarCorps Fellowship in our upcoming newsletters.<\/p>\n
