Today, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is proud to announce the launch of The SEIA Online Learning Center, an online platform that provides comprehensive educational programming for companies, clean energy professionals, and those looking to join the solar and storage industry. The launch of the learning center coincides with the launch of its flagship Solar 101 Program.
Solar 101 is designed to meet the needs of all users, from experienced industry veterans to newcomers. It offers nearly 30 lessons across 11 topics, ranging from introductions to solar terminology and market segments to policy overviews and more detailed technical training. SEIA President and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper said, “The solar and storage workforce is not going to grow to one million Americans by 2030 on its own, so there was a clear need for SEIA to step up with tools to help companies address mounting workforce development challenges.”
Solar 101 is open to individuals and SEIA members and non-members alike. SEIA is offering discounts for Solar 101 to SEIA members, students, and other critical stakeholders. Additionally, The SEIA Online Learning Center also provides archived webinar content and SEIA’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Certification Program.
SEIA Vice President of Equity and Workforce Development Erika Symmonds said, “We have a responsibility as an industry leader to provide resources that welcome a diverse group of people into the solar and storage family. This new platform builds a bridge into one of America’s fastest-growing industries, and SEIA is committed to making sure that training and other wealth-building opportunities are accessible to communities of all backgrounds.”
The Solar 101 Program is focused on delivering concise information in a digestible 5- to 10-minute video format. To learn more about the Solar 101 Program, pricing details, and the solar and storage industry’s workforce development efforts, visit The SEIA Online Learning Center.
