PV INSTALLATION BASICS (Solar Energy)
Prepare for employment in the
growing sustainable energy industry!
Students enrolled in Hudson Valley Community College’s Workforce Development Institute will now be able to take solar training courses at reduced fees thanks to a $25,000 investment from Cypress Creek Renewables. This investment will help provide reduced course fees for students interested in solar job training, with a focus on bringing more women, veterans and underrepresented people into the industry. PV Installation Basics is eligible for this funding!
Our NEW, 20-hour course answers the needs of local PV company owners who want trained, entry-level workers with basic PV skills.
