Job Training Partnerships

GRID Alternatives partners with job training organizations to provide students with hands-on experience to complement classroom learning and prepare them for employment.

The expanding solar industry is one of the few bright spots in an otherwise slow labor market. Employers added 13 percent more jobs in 2012 over 2011, but four out of five solar companies say they can?t find applicants with enough relevant experience. GRID Alternatives provides a classroom in the field for job training organizations, giving their students the experience and networking opportunities they need to get jobs. Each workday is coordinated with the training program?s structure and curriculum to ensure that every single person has the chance to complete a solar installation, from start to finish. Interested in partnering with us? Contact Shirley Moore at 303.968.1327.
