En junio, GRID Colorado complet\u00f3 nuestra primera Academia de Formaci\u00f3n Solar en colaboraci\u00f3n con la Autoridad de Vivienda de Denver y la Autoridad de Renovaci\u00f3n Urbana de Denver. La Academia de Formaci\u00f3n Solar es un programa intensivo de dos semanas dise\u00f1ado para brindar a personas de bajos a medianos ingresos las habilidades necesarias para iniciar una carrera en el sector solar. Los participantes reciben un curso introductorio de Solar Energy International, un taller de habilidades b\u00e1sicas, tres d\u00edas de formaci\u00f3n in situ y apoyo para la preparaci\u00f3n profesional, que incluye conocer a otros empleadores del sector solar en el \u00e1rea de Denver.<\/p>\n

Siete personas se graduaron de la primera clase de la Academia. Una de esas graduadas fue April Valdez. April, residente de Denver y madre de cuatro hijos, escuch\u00f3 hablar de la Academia de Formaci\u00f3n Solar mientras cursaba clases en la Agencia de Vivienda de Denver. Tan pronto como lo supo, inmediatamente quiso saber c\u00f3mo inscribirse en esta nueva clase que combinaba energ\u00eda solar, construcci\u00f3n y trabajo sin fines de lucro. \u201cNo ten\u00eda ni idea de a qu\u00e9 me estaba metiendo, pero me lanc\u00e9 de lleno y me lo pas\u00e9 muy bien\u201d, dijo April. Pronto se hizo evidente que su entusiasmo por la energ\u00eda renovable la convertir\u00eda en la persona indicada para un trabajo que apoyara la labor de divulgaci\u00f3n de GRID en la comunidad. Este mes, April se incorporar\u00e1 al equipo de GRID como miembro del programa Solarcorps, apoyando los departamentos de divulgaci\u00f3n y voluntariado durante los pr\u00f3ximos 12 meses. GRID tambi\u00e9n contrat\u00f3 a Wes Cowan, otro graduado de la Academia de Formaci\u00f3n Solar, como practicante de construcci\u00f3n. Wes est\u00e1 realizando pr\u00e1cticas en GRID Colorado mientras estudia Ingenier\u00eda Ambiental. Actualmente se encuentra trabajando en la formaci\u00f3n sobre el sistema de paneles solares Coyote Ridge de GRID. <\/p>\n

La pr\u00f3xima Academia de Formaci\u00f3n Solar tendr\u00e1 lugar del 18 al 28 de septiembre. Para obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n o registrarse, por favor contacte a Allison Moe amoe@gridalternatives.org al 303-481-4384.<\/p>\n
