The SJVCEO strives to build upon the successes of other programs that bring positive outcomes to vulnerable populations that are often left behind. How can we serve these communities with workforce resources? Are there any existing programs we can refer people in to? Is there a specific model that works best? This is where we want to highlight the Willdan Clean Energy Academy, a workforce development program based out of New York that is “empowering trainees to learn the skills necessary to uncover energy savings opportunities.”
