The “Energy Training Partnership” program provides updated skills and certifications for unemployed and underemployed roofers, electricians, and construction workers; as well as women, minorities and other job seekers. This project will train targeted participants in the energy efficiency and solar energy industries. Energy Training Partnership pairs seven weeks (200 hours) of technical and basic education at Atlantic Technical Center with three weeks of employability skills training at OIC of Broward County.
