Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our world today. Driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, climate change is causing global temperatures to rise, leading to severe environmental, economic, and social consequences. However, there is hope. Renewable energy offers a sustainable solution that can mitigate the impacts of climate change while promoting a cleaner, healthier planet.
Read MoreThe solar industry is growing rapidly around the world. However, despite its rapid growth and potential, the solar industry still faces a significant challenge: a lack of diversity. Underrepresented groups, including women, people of color, and those from low-income backgrounds, are under-represented in the workforce. To address this gap, it is crucial to create comprehensive career pathways for these students to ensure they can move beyond training and secure meaningful, lasting employment in the solar sector. Creating career pathways involves more than just offering training programs. It requires a holistic approach that includes education, mentorship, and job placement support to ensure students not only enter the industry but thrive within it.
Read MoreWith a grant provided by All Points North Foundation (www.allpointsnorthfoundation.org), Remote Energy is creating a team to develop graphical, video-based, open-source solar PV curriculum that can easily be translated into any language to promote interest and career development in the solar energy (PV) industry. The curriculum will support broad community outreach to help demystify and distill the benefits of solar and its applications for a broad audience - regardless of educational, literacy, and/or linguistic barriers.
Read MoreRemote Energy’s instructional development program gives new PV instructors an opportunity to grow their skills and confidence to deliver effective and safe PV training programs with hands-on labs. We often partner with educational organizations who share our mission of high-quality solar training, have a focus on gender equity, and aspire to develop solar training programs in their community.
