A new $2.1 million solar workforce development program, funded by the US Department of Energy SunShot Initiative under its Solar Training and Education for Professionals (STEP) program, seeks to boost the future of solar in the United States by helping to train more people to meet the growing demand for qualified solar employees.
The Solar Training Network aims to expand upon, and augment, the current solar training resources available to prospective solar job seekers, in order to help grow the necessary infrastructure for meeting President Obama’s commitment, made last year, to train some 75,000 people for solar careers by the year 2020.
