Jeremiah always dreamed of landing a job in the solar industry. However, he didn’t know that the pathway to his career would be through a free online training course.
Michael Elkins first learned about GRID through his fellowship with Mission Continues, a nonprofit that empowers veterans by helping them build skills and networks to successfully reintegrate them into the civilian lifestyle.
GRID Alternatives Inland Empire (GRID IE), an affiliate of GRID Alternatives, officially opened its doors in April 2011 with a small skeleton crew of five, later growing to a team of eight.
GRID Alternatives’ mission supports multiple levels of workforce development and service-learning opportunities, from volunteerism to in-depth solar training and paid internships.
