NATiVE Solar, along with Solar Austin and Del Valle ISD, are accelerating solar jobs and work-study programs at the Del Valle Opportunity Center.
Together, they are each supporting the growing demand for trade skills and offering students green career pathways and hands-on training for renewable energy.
Lloyd Lee, founder and CEO of NATiVE Solar, along with Ray Macias, principal of Del Valle Opportunity Center, and Lorenzo Arevalo, a student at Del Valle Opportunity Center, all joined Studio 512 Co-Host Stephanie Gilbert at the center to talk about the school’s training program and its benefits.
Benefits
The program offers many benefits such as, for example:
- Students who take the program can enter the industry starting at around $20 per hour and can move into six figures if they stay in
- An alternative to college which allows them to explore job opportunities to make a good living right out of high school (or before graduation)
- An opportunity for students to start their own business and become an entrepreneur
