Solar developer Clean slate solar energy has launched a personal training program for solar staff development training courses in Prince George’s County, Maryland, designed to support disadvantaged communities-in particular return students and individuals who are looking for career transitions. The “Solar Learning Lab” has been developed in collaboration with the Development Development Program Sustainable Energy (Sewdp) On Prince George’s Community College, and strives to equip local residents with practical training, certifications recognized by industry and clear paths to work in the clean energy sector of Maryland.

By working together with Clean Slate Solar, we enable us to offer our students direct access to career paths in the clean energy sector, “said John Deadwyler, program director at Sewdp.” This cooperation not only reinforces our local workforce, but also ensures that communities that are historically left behind are now in the foreground of Maryland’s Energy Future. “
The first cohort included recurring adult students and individuals who again participated in the workforce. Participants received safety instruction, soft-skills development and hands-on training in solar installation.
“Our mission goes beyond building solar projects – it’s about building opportunities,” said Patrick McNamara, managing partner at Clean Slate Solar.
“By working with SewDP, we ensure that residents in Prince George’s County can gain the skills, experience and trust that are needed to thrive in this fast -growing industry,” added Sho Arora, managing partner at Clean Slate Solar.
