WHAT: Want the skills to earn and keep a good solar job? Join the SHINE solar career program to get certified for solar work. This is a free full-time program that runs for 14 weeks beginning on October 7, 2024.
You’ll learn important life skills along with trade skills. You’ll learn how to stay safe in the workplace, use power tools, and build the racking systems for rooftop solar systems. You’ll also get the skills to build a resume and be confident in a job interview.
This program is for people who are new to solar. You don’t have to have a high school diploma, and you don’t have to have prior construction experience. Participants will earn a stipend and graduates will leave with OSHA and NABCEP certifications, plus job placement assistance.
