About this
Study
Although there is a push for more veteran job growth within the solar industry, to do this means tackling various challenges that make the transition from active duty to civilian life difficult. The skills that many who have served in the armed forces acquire through their military service can easily be applied to the solar industry. Being able to translate those skills onto a resume or during an interview, however, is a different matter that many veterans struggle with when looking for work post-service. Solar training programs allow veterans to receive training in the practical skills needed to work in the solar industry, which can give them an edge when applying for jobs. Through these programs, veterans will gain experience and knowledge of solar energy technologies and solar installation. This coupled with learning how to translate their skills and experiences into assets that will draw the company’s attention make for an impressive combination for securing jobs within the industry. This study reviews the organizations that support veteran cohorts with clean energy employment.
