Nuestros miembros del programa AmeriCorps y los graduados del programa Installation Basics Training (IBT) adquieren experiencia pr\u00e1ctica instalando paneles solares, instalando sistemas de almacenamiento de energ\u00eda y construyendo infraestructura para la carga de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. Estos programas generan carreras bien remuneradas, fortalecen las econom\u00edas locales y ampl\u00edan el acceso a la energ\u00eda limpia en comunidades que m\u00e1s la necesitan, incluidas las zonas rurales y las poblaciones hist\u00f3ricamente desatendidas. Por eso es profundamente preocupante ver que el Congreso est\u00e1 considerando recortar programas como el programa AmeriCorps, lo que impedir\u00eda que miles de estadounidenses sirvan a sus comunidades, adquieran habilidades y accedan a v\u00edas de carrera en la energ\u00eda limpia. <\/p>\n<p>Esto no es solo una cuesti\u00f3n de equidad, sino tambi\u00e9n de estrategia econ\u00f3mica y competitividad nacional. Estados Unidos ya no invierte lo suficiente en el desarrollo de la fuerza laboral, gastando solo una quinta parte de la media que otras econom\u00edas avanzadas invierten en programas de formaci\u00f3n y el mercado laboral. Al recortar la financiaci\u00f3n para programas de formaci\u00f3n y despliegue de la fuerza laboral, corremos el riesgo de ceder la lideranza industrial a otros pa\u00edses que est\u00e1n invirtiendo activamente en la formaci\u00f3n, la fabricaci\u00f3n y la expansi\u00f3n de estas tecnolog\u00edas. <\/p>\n<p>Las consecuencias son reales tambi\u00e9n para las familias. Las familias con recursos limitados ya gastan hasta el 14% de su ingreso en electricidad, y ese peso aumenta a medida que la demanda aumenta debido a los centros de datos, la inteligencia artificial, la electrificaci\u00f3n y los aumentos de tarifas. Se prev\u00e9 que la demanda de energ\u00eda aumente significativamente en el futuro inmediato, lo que hace que la necesidad de trabajadores cualificados y de infraestructura instalada sea m\u00e1s urgente que nunca.<\/p>\n<p>GRID Alternatives ya est\u00e1 demostrando lo posible. Nuestros programas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ofrecer formaci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica y reconocida por la industria, como nuestro programa IBT 200, que es homologado por la North American Board of Certified Energy Professionals (NABCEP). <a href=\"https:\/\/coursecatalog.nabcep.org\/classes\/installation-basics-training-200\">Programa de formaci\u00f3n registrado<\/a> que prepara a los participantes para carreras en energ\u00eda limpia.<\/li>\n<li>Priorizar a las mujeres, a las comunidades BIPOC y a otros grupos hist\u00f3ricamente excluidos.<\/li>\n<li>Colabore con escuelas, organizaciones locales y empleadores para crear v\u00edas claras hacia carreras en energ\u00eda solar, almacenamiento y veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos.<\/li>\n<li>Instalamos miles de sistemas solares que benefician directamente a familias y comunidades. Nuestra cohorta de SolarCorps 2024-25 trabaj\u00f3 en proyectos que generaron ahorros de $25 millones en facturas de energ\u00eda para los miembros de la comunidad.<\/li>\n<li>Ayudar a los graduados a conseguir empleos bien remunerados que mantengan la infraestructura de energ\u00eda limpia y el conocimiento t\u00e9cnico en los Estados Unidos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Invertir en el desarrollo de la fuerza laboral no es un lujo. Es esencial para ampliar las oportunidades, avanzar en la justicia ambiental y garantizar que Estados Unidos siga siendo competitivo en las tecnolog\u00edas que ha inventado. El Congreso debe proteger y ampliar las inversiones en los programas AmeriCorps y Workforce Investment Opportunity Act. Cualquier cosa menos es una oportunidad perdida que podr\u00eda suponer mayores costos de energ\u00eda, la p\u00e9rdida de empleos y una disminuci\u00f3n de la capacidad de liderazgo en las industrias del futuro.<\/p>\n<p>GRID Alternatives continuar\u00e1 formando a la fuerza laboral, sirviendo a las comunidades y construyendo un futuro de energ\u00eda limpia \u2013con o sin el apoyo del Congreso\u2013, porque la necesidad es real y la oportunidad es demasiado importante para esperar.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At GRID Alternatives, we believe in the power of service to community, to country, and to an abundant, clean energy future.
