 Empowering Women with Skills and Education!

Solar Energy Training Programs for Women, by Women

What makes Remote Energy’s Women’s Program different?

Our professional, female instructors have been teaching women-only solar electric classes for over 25 years and have partnered with organizations worldwide to develop and implement customized training programs for all types of students.

We are empowering women with the marketable skills and knowledge to be competitive and confident decision-makers, technicians, and educators in the solar electric (PV) industry.

 
 
 

 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.

 

CREATE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

We know the importance of creating networking opportunities for women to share skills, educational tips, life experiences, and dreams with their peers.

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.
