DOE Program Provides Solar Training for Veterans

摘要

The solar industry has experienced an average annual growth rate of 42% over the last decade, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), Washington, D.C. To keep up with this rising demand, the solar industry needs to find skilled workers in areas such as installation, manufacturing, sales and management. Military veterans offer highly diverse skill sets, and the Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Ready Vets Network aims to connect the industry with these skilled workers. Solar Ready Vets "aligns military talent and skills with industry workforce needs as solar continues to lead job growth in the American energy sector," according to the network's website.
