Train women technicians to fill solar jobs

There are millions of solar jobs expected in the renewable energy sector in the next 10 years. Our programs address barriers for women entering the industry such as soft skills development, tool use and acquirement, entrepreneurial skills, and job placement.

MENTOR & EMPOWER WOMEN SOLAR INSTRUCTORS

We are increasing the number of women who are at the front of the room to promote long-term mentorships and role models for the future generation of women coming into the field. A definition of women’s empowerment is promoting women’s self-worth and confidence to make their own choices and affect change. Women’s empowerment is the first step in building a gender-balanced solar industry.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN-ONLY TRAININGS

Women use the majority of energy in the world, from cooking to pumping water to agricultural processing, and women’s work often goes unpaid and therefore unrecognized. When women are trained in the installation and maintenance of renewable technologies, the projects are more sustainable. Solar technology can ease women's workload, allowing more time for education and income-earning activities.

Women are extremely underrepresented in the renewable energy workforce, and largely do not attend co-ed technical trainings. Women interact differently in a women-only class. Many women have stated that they feel less intimidated to use new tools and learn a technical subject with other women. In a women-only class, women get more involved in the hands-on portions of the class, where they would have tended to be more apprehensive in mixed-gender classes.
