Green Job Training

Green Job Training

Recently, our employment and training department partnered with San Jose City College (SJCC) to develop an intensive entry level Solar Panel Installation Training and Certification Program. The training and certification program will last 8 weeks and includes the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) certification. This certification is nationally recognized and will qualify each student for employment in the growing green economy.

In addition, we are working with local \"green\" employers to place our Veterans, after they complete the training, into a position where they can use their skills in the green workforce. Our program will help to ease their transition from active duty military service into a civilian career.  The eligibility criteria are as follows:

• **MUST HAVE SEPERATED FROM THE MILITARY AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 2001**
• Possess a DD-214
• Possess a state issued driver\'s license or identification
• Possess a social security card
• Are physically able to install solar panels
• Can pass a basic Math and Reading assessment test
• Are looking to launch into one of the fastest growing industries
