The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Philadelphia Energy Authority (PEA) to develop and pilot a solar energy training program (Bright Solar Futures). The program would focus on training students enrolled in School District of Philadelphia’s (SDP) Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program and the YouthBuild Philly (YBP) Program for entry level jobs in the solar industry. A curriculum would be developed and training would be provided to students that would include classroom education, hands-on training, and paid work experience.
