Apprenticeships in the Solar Industry
highlights
The solar industry is growing rapidly, and we need an expanded skilled workforce to keep pace with this growth. SEIA is working to create and facilitate the development of tools, resources, and networks that benefit our member companies, partner organizations, and solar industry workers. Apprenticeships are a time-tested and powerful tool for workforce development. SEIA developed this page as resource for solar employers looking to explore, develop, or participate in registered apprenticeship programs.
Registered Apprenticeship Programs
Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) are paid jobs that prepare workers for careers while meeting the needs of businesses for a highly skilled workforce.
