Attracting Veteran Leadership with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program

As the solar industry continues its rapid growth, we must build back better to create a more diverse, iJoin Solar Ready Vets as we celebrate military veterans who have transitioned into solar careers and discuss how solar companies can attract top military talent through the Solar Ready Vets / Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program.

With dynamic leadership, teamwork, organizational skills, and a mission-driven work ethic, military veterans are a unique and valuable source of talent at a pivotal time for our industry. The Fellowship (implemented by Hiring Our Heroes through the U.S. Department of Energy funded Solar Ready Vets Network) allows solar companies to host highly qualified mid-to-senior level transitioning service members for on-the-job experience in professional / management roles at no cost to the employer.

Join us to hear first-hand from solar companies that have hosted and hired Fellows! This is your last chance to become engaged with the Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program in time for the final Fellowship cohort of 2022.
