Ralph Carmines, de Petaluma, trabaj\u00f3 anteriormente como ingeniero civil, pero encontr\u00f3 sus puestos \u201cprincipalmente sin diversi\u00f3n ni cualidades que valieran la pena m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de un salario\u201d. Decidido a encontrar un empleo significativo, comenz\u00f3 a trabajar como voluntario en GRID y atribuye su experiencia trabajando junto a uno de nuestros supervisores de instalaciones solares, Ron Griffin, a su nueva carrera en el sector solar.<\/p>\n

\u00abDebo decirles cu\u00e1nto me ha ayudado Ron Griffin a conseguir un trabajo en la instalaci\u00f3n de paneles solares. Habr\u00eda dicho eso antes, pero he estado muy ocupado trabajando que apenas he tenido tiempo para mirar atr\u00e1s\u00bb, nos escribi\u00f3 Ralph recientemente. \u00abHe trabajado en numerosas instalaciones de GRID Alternatives con Ron. \u00c9l me ha ense\u00f1ado mucho sobre todo el proceso, tanto los detalles como la visi\u00f3n general. \u00c9l vio el valor que pod\u00eda aportar a un equipo de instalaci\u00f3n y utiliz\u00f3 sus contactos en el sector para conectarme con una excelente empresa peque\u00f1a que est\u00e1 creciendo en la zona de la Bah\u00eda\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Con m\u00e1s de 120.000 personas empleadas en la industria solar, los empleos en esta \u00e1rea son tan atractivos como el propio sol. Sin embargo, muchos empleadores de la industria requieren experiencia en instalaci\u00f3n, una realidad que plantea un desaf\u00edo para los estudiantes de formaci\u00f3n profesional que buscan conectarse con oportunidades laborales reales. GRID Alternatives proporciona la experiencia pr\u00e1ctica necesaria para colmar esta brecha. Hemos ayudado a cientos de personas a obtener empleo a largo plazo en la industria solar y hemos creado m\u00e1s de 1000 oportunidades laborales remuneradas para instaladores locales gracias a nuestro programa. Programa de colaboraci\u00f3n de subcontratistas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Como explica Ralph, hay un beneficio a\u00fan mayor en trabajar en la industria solar y en hacer voluntariado en GRID: \u201cMe encanta trabajar al aire libre y conocer a clientes siempre felices, pero s\u00e9 que poco a poco estamos cambiando la infraestructura de producci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda desde abajo hacia arriba, y eso satisface mi energ\u00eda rebelde. Es una rebeli\u00f3n silenciosa e imparable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Estamos muy orgullosos de Ralph y le agradecemos toda su ayuda como voluntario en GRID. \u00bfEst\u00e1 buscando un trabajo que tenga un impacto positivo en el mundo? \u00a1Consulte c\u00f3mo nuestros Programa de L\u00edderes de Equipo<\/a> \u00a1Ofrece valiosas habilidades y formaci\u00f3n en instalaci\u00f3n solar!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
