Program

Initially the program was offered for the first time as a summer program successfully. During the summer of 2018 a group of four young adults, who were part of the foster care system, enrolled and completed the Solar Workforce training.

It is the foundation’s intention to extent the program and offer it throughout the year in the near future.
