As more solar energy companies are forming in Austin, Austin Community College will be offering two women focused classes. The two classes on solar installation will start on March 22 and will meet on Mondays and Wednesday at 6 p.m. to 9 p.m at Highland Business Center.
Students that take this class will receive an introduction to the solar industry and learn various topics such as: solar energy fundamentals, photo voltaic (PV) electrical design, and workplace safety. There will also be an installation lab where students will get hands-on experience and those that complete the course will be eligible to take the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) PV Entry Level Exam.

A free two hour information session will take place on March 6 at 10 a.m. at Riverside Campus Room 8100. This will give interested students a chance to meet the solar course instructors and learn information about how to start training toward a job in this ever growing green industry.
