Green Jobs Training Program
Welcome to the Green Jobs section of the Solar One website! These pages are currently under development. We recognize the growing attention this sector of employment is generating, and we value your interest. At the present time, we are not hiring for any positions, and our green job training programs are currently only available through our workforce development partners. However, in 2010 we will be expanding our internal capacity as well as our online database of resources to assist individuals in their employment search and training development.
We will notify you via email as our online resources and additional training and job opportunities develop. In meantime, please feel free to utilize the following resources which may provide useful information regarding green job training opportunities, educational focus, and training development.
