For no cost technical assistance on exploring registered apprenticeship program options or support in launching a registered apprenticeship program in the solar, storage or clean energy industries, we encourage you to fill out the Apprenticeship in Clean Energy (ACE) Network Intake Form. ACE Network is funded by a U.S. Dept. of Labor contract and led by Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), with SEIA and other partner organizations providing support.
Below are examples of sponsors of registered apprenticeship programs that may be relevant to solar and storage projects. Companies may reach out to these sponsors’ local offices or chapters to learn about specific apprenticeship programs in the area(s) of their project(s). Companies may also utilize the apprenticeship.gov Partner Finder Tool to search for apprenticeship program sponsors by occupation in their project area(s).
