Rashah Freeman, antiguo voluntario de construcci\u00f3n de GRID, ha utilizado este lema como camino hacia su \u00e9xito en el campo de la energ\u00eda solar. El viaje de Rashah en la industria solar comenz\u00f3 cuando era estudiante en The Renewable Energy Academy of Learning (<a href=\"file:\/\/\/O:\/IE\/Marketing\/eNewsletter\/July%202017%20Newsletter\/dhsreal.weebly.com\">REAL<\/a>) en Desert Hot Springs. REAL proporciona a los estudiantes un entorno de aprendizaje que combina experiencias laborales reales a trav\u00e9s de socios como GRID Alternatives, reforzado por un plan de estudios de energ\u00eda renovable a nivel universitario. <\/p>\n<p>Rashah se conect\u00f3 primero con GRID cuando su profesor llev\u00f3 a su clase a una excursi\u00f3n a una instalaci\u00f3n solar de GRID. \u00c9l describe su viaje como muy esclarecedor. \u201cLa experiencia que adquir\u00ed en GRID es incre\u00edble\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Rashah. \u201cEl aprendizaje de las habilidades que me prepararon para convertirme en instalador solar fue invaluable. El conocimiento que obtuve me fue de gran ayuda. Adquir\u00ed una comprensi\u00f3n b\u00e1sica de las t\u00e9cnicas de cableado el\u00e9ctrico y del equipo necesario para instalar paneles solares\u201d.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Rashah se involucr\u00f3 voluntariamente en GRID a los 16 a\u00f1os. Ahora que tiene 19 a\u00f1os, ha decidido seguir una carrera en la industria solar. Su primer trabajo en la industria solar fue trabajando como obrero para un contratista local de energ\u00eda solar. Su carrera progres\u00f3 a medida que Rashah pas\u00f3 a otro contratista, donde recientemente fue promovido de t\u00e9cnico a instalador solar. Rashah atribuye su \u00e9xito a GRID y comparte regularmente su historia de \u00e9xito en la carrera solar con amigos y familiares. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo s\u00e9 d\u00f3nde estar\u00eda si no hubiera sido por GRID\u201d, dijo Rashah. Antes de iniciar su carrera en la industria solar, \u00e9l ten\u00eda otros objetivos en la vida: el deporte. Aparentemente, sus padres estaban contentos de que \u00e9l hubiera encontrado un \u2018plan b\u2019 en un campo que le interesaba m\u00e1s que su carrera original como futbolista. <\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s de su trabajo como instalador solar, Rashah est\u00e1 llevando adelante su sue\u00f1o de convertirse en emprendedor y tiene previsto lanzar un negocio de mantenimiento para limpiar los sistemas de paneles solares. Est\u00e1 deseoso de poder ofrecer estos servicios a los clientes. El futuro de Rashah luce brillante y est\u00e1 muy bien encaminado para cumplir sus sue\u00f1os. Actualmente est\u00e1 completando su formaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightwood.edu\/diplomas-certificates\/electrical-technician\/\">Brightwood College<\/a> donde est\u00e1 estudiando para convertirse en un electricista con licencia. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecomendar\u00eda a cualquiera que quiera tener una carrera en el sector solar que comience por convertirse en un asistente de GRID. \u00a1Fue la mejor decisi\u00f3n que podr\u00eda haber tomado!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Si est\u00e1 interesado en obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre los programas de formaci\u00f3n y voluntariado de GRID, llame al 951.471.7043 o visite <a href=\"https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/es\/volunteer\/\">www.gridalternatives.org\/volunteer<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out the tools that helped former GRID construction volunteer Rashah Freeman to achieve success in the solar industry. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":3851,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[76,79],"tags":[],"audience":[],"content-type":[12],"focus-area":[20,23,73],"region":[],"series":[],"content-author":[],"class_list":["post-3850","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-clean-energy","category-workforce-education","content-type-news","focus-area-job-training","focus-area-solar-futures","focus-area-workforce-development"],"acf":{"hero_media_type":"image","hero_media_image":null,"hero_media_url":"","hero_media_poster":null,"hero_video_play":"inline","related_stories":null,"pattern_override":null,"story_callouts":null,"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
