MSNBC reports that many local, state and federal government agencies are developing “green” training programs for laid off workers. To help with this process, the Arizona Solar Power Society has developed several entry level solar training programs that will provide a way to get a start in the solar energy industry. The Solar Scout Program teaches workers how to use Google Earth to look for south or west facing rooftops by zip code, and then use solar direct mail marketing programs to alert customers about the benefits of solar heating systems. Qualifiesd leads are then sold to solar installation companies for a commission. Workers can sign up for these free training programs at www.meetup.com/arizona-solar-power-society/calendar.
The Arizona Solar Power Society is also seeking funds to establish professional solar installation training centers around the state that would generate more than 10,000 jobs.
