EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY   |   March 2020

 

Solar installers on building

The DCSEU and MDVSEIA are partnering to bring an exclusive opportunity to DC Solar Companies to become a DCSEU Extern Host Site! As a solar company in the District we invite you to learn more about our program and how YOU can become a partner host site for one of our externs. The DCSEU’s next cohort of its Workforce Development Externship Program will be kicking off mid-May for DC residents interested in pursuing careers within the solar industry and building operations field. We are actively engaging host sites now so that we can find an extern that meets your company’s needs.

Join us for a webinar on 3/20/2020 with more information about the program for interested parties.

Friday March 20th, 2020

11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST

Register in advance here.

The Workforce Development program aims to educate DC Residents on the fundamentals of the solar and energy efficiency fields by placing them as ‘Externs’ with DC-based solar companies offering the following benefits:

  • Externs are paid a living wage and 100% sponsored by the DCSEU for the duration of the Externship (3-5 months, on average).
  • Externs work through a professional development curriculum at weekly DCSEU meetings, earning course credits towards NABCEP PVA and LEED GA certification, while practicing on-the-job training at their host sites.
  • Hosts get the opportunity to mentor an individual new to the solar industry, with the commitment to potentially hire after their completion of the Externship.

We invite you to learn more about hosting an extern on 3/20 and look forward to meeting you and answering your questions during the webinar. Current solar partners include WDC Solar and Greenscape Environmental Services!
