Solar Energy Initiatives Kicks Off Renew the Nation Campaign
City Council Member Dr. Johnny Gaffney addresses the media. Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. announced a partnership with three Jacksonville job training and placement agencies to train displaced workers as solar energy installation and maintenance technicians at a Jacksonville news conference Tuesday, Sept. 8.
This new partnership is a first step in Solar Energy’s Renew the Nation campaign intended to promote job growth and economic development nationwide by providing a trained workforce to enter the fast growing renewable energy industry. The program, pending final approval by the Jacksonville City Council, is being funded by $387,000 in federal stimulus dollars provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Joining Solar Energy in this job training collaborative is Community Rehabilitation Center (CRC), Northeast Community Action Agency (NFCAA) and WorkSource. Solar Energy is providing the training curriculum and materials, while CRC will manage the program and NFCAA and WorkSource will supply the trainees.
The training facility, to be called CRC Institute, will be located at Pearl Plaza at the corner of North Pearl and 44th streets. The first class of 40 participants will begin in later this year.
