This job fair provides the chance for employers and job seekers to learn, connect, and engage about green career opportunities as the sector works to expand and strengthen the workforce and our local economies.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The solar industry has been growing rapidly for years, and the passage of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act is leading to a transformative expansion of the clean energy sector. Some reports suggest that the industry could employ more than one million Americans by 2030. According to the Interstate Renewable Energy Council\u2019s (IREC) 2022 National Solar Job Census, as of December 2022, there were 263,883 solar workers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To ensure a just transition to clean energy, it is critical that the solar industry is diverse and representative of all communities, especially those that can most benefit from clean energy solutions. <\/p>\n<p>Job fair attendees will learn about many different types of clean energy jobs and green career opportunities, including Installation, Design, Permitting, Project Management and Scheduling, Human Resources, Electricians, Logistics Coordinators, Mechanical &amp; Electrical Engineers, CAD Drafters, Data Analysts, and more! The job fair is free to all job seekers and will provide a dedicated space for clean energy companies, industry employers, and other stakeholders to engage and connect. <\/p>\n<p>To inquire about an employer table or sponsorships, please get in touch with Adewale OgunBadejo at aogunbadejo@gridalternatives.org.
