Troops to Solar, nuestro programa reci\u00e9n lanzado, ofrece capacitaci\u00f3n gratuita para la instalaci\u00f3n de sistemas solares a veteranos, lo que les permite desarrollar las habilidades que buscan los contratistas locales de energ\u00eda solar. \u00danete a nuestro programa para conectarte con otros veteranos y centrarte en c\u00f3mo aplicar las habilidades aprendidas durante tu carrera militar.<\/p>\n<p>El exmarine Scott Chapman se involucr\u00f3 en GRID para adquirir experiencia en la instalaci\u00f3n de sistemas solares espec\u00edficos para la industria mientras se incorporaba al mundo laboral civil. Lo que obtuvo de ello fue mucho m\u00e1s. Voluntariarse en GRID le brind\u00f3 la oportunidad de trabajar junto a otros que hab\u00edan servido y que pod\u00edan comprender los desaf\u00edos que enfrentaban al volver a la vida civil.<\/p>\n<p>Chapman mencion\u00f3 que los veterinarios tienen experiencias similares y que conectar con otros veteranos siempre es bueno. La camarader\u00eda y el potencial de networking de Troops to Solar fueron inmediatos para Chapman, ya que incluso conoci\u00f3 a un compa\u00f1ero marinero de servicio anterior en Jap\u00f3n hace a\u00f1os. Esto hizo que el trabajo en equipo fuera instant\u00e1neo, ya que Chapman aplic\u00f3 sus conocimientos en la instalaci\u00f3n solar. Actualmente ha participado en m\u00e1s de 30 instalaciones y atribuye su tiempo en GRID a conseguir un trabajo en una empresa solar con sede en Temecula.<\/p>\n<p>Chapman a\u00f1adi\u00f3: \u201cEra jefe de mantenimiento, pero mi tiempo libre lo pasaba trabajando como voluntario en orfanatos en Mongolia y Corea del Sur. Me atrajo GRID porque me permite crear mientras contribuyo a la comunidad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>El Banco de Am\u00e9rica don\u00f3 $10.000 en apoyo a la iniciativa Solar. Su presidente de Mercado IE, Al Arguello, elogi\u00f3 el programa diciendo: \u201cEstamos muy entusiasmados de participar en el programa Troops to Solar de GRID. El Banco de Am\u00e9rica tiene una especial afinidad con los veteranos y este programa abarca varios aspectos clave de nuestras iniciativas comunitarias. GRID tiene un excelente programa de formaci\u00f3n para veteranos, ayuda a familias de bajos ingresos y est\u00e1 teniendo un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No se pierda el pr\u00f3ximo evento Troops to Solar, programado para el D\u00eda de los Veteranos en noviembre. Pero si desea comenzar el camino hacia una carrera exitosa en la instalaci\u00f3n de energ\u00eda solar, contacte GRID hoy mismo. Ayudamos a conseguir que los veteranos sean contratados mediante redes de contactos, ferias de empleo y alianzas con contratistas de energ\u00eda solar. Siempre estamos buscando veteranos para servir y ofrecemos un excelente entrenamiento laboral. Nuestros programas tienen un historial comprobado de \u00e9xito en cuanto a la colocaci\u00f3n de personas en la industria solar.
