The WorkPlace is thrilled to announce that they have been awarded a grant from YouthBuild Global to launch a Solar Panel Installation Training and Certification program! This initiative will create new opportunities for young people by equipping them with the skills needed to enter the rapidly growing solar energy industry. According to industry research, the solar sector must triple its workforce by 2030 to meet national energy goals. Through this program, we will help prepare the next generation of solar professionals by providing hands-on training, industry-recognized certifications, and career pathways in clean energy.
As part of the program, The WorkPlace will collaborate with YouthBuild Global to construct a mock roof system and deliver three levels of training using products from the leading U.S. manufacturer and distributor of solar racking and mounting systems. This hands-on approach will provide invaluable real-world experience to participants.
This grant will have a transformative impact on the young people we serve, opening doors to high-demand careers in renewable energy.
