Gets boost from local solar installer donation
Vermont Business Magazine Adult Continuing Education at Burlington Technical College (ACE-BTC) has launched a new program to help individuals without previous experience find jobs in the solar industry. ACE’s “Solar Installation Apprenticeship Program” started in the fall with the mission of offering workforce development programs that graduate highly qualified students to enter the workforce, with all the skills and abilities to succeed.
“We hope that this program can serve as a model for more apprenticeship programs around the state.” said Marni Leiken, director of the program.
With a commitment to help more people join the solar industry, local solar installer SunCommon has been collaborating with ACE in the development of the program. They will also be offering program participants a paid internship starting in the spring to give them hands-on experience. SunCommon recently wrapped up their annual holiday giving campaign
