Unlock the secret to building a future-ready workforce in the booming solar industry with insights from our expert guest, Dr. Deborah Williamson, Vice President of IWSI America. Discover how registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs) can be a game-changer for clean energy employers looking to create a robust talent pipeline. Learn why these federally endorsed programs are essential for addressing the soaring demand for specialized roles like electric vehicle maintenance technicians and SCADA operators. With RAPs, you'll not only tap into federal support but also significantly increase your chances of securing skilled employees, as evidenced by the 94% employment rate for apprentices.

Navigating the nuances of RAPs versus internships becomes clearer as we discuss the structured, hands-on training RAPs offer, perfectly aligning with industry needs and offering a more reliable path to employment. Whether you're looking to harness financial incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act or customize your program from over 1,000 Department of Labor-approved occupations, guidance is at your fingertips. Dr. Williamson and her team at the ACE Network are ready to help every step of the way, ensuring your business thrives in the clean energy sector. Prepare to set your business up for long-term success and be part of the renewable energy revolution.
