On Monday, March 7th, our Baltimore Center for Green Careers (BCGC) celebrated its new program and the inaugural class of Solar students. This three-month Solar Training program is the first of its kind in Maryland. The program trains Baltimore City residents to install and maintain solar systems. It includes comprehensive case management services, job readiness instruction, the NABCEP Entry Level certification, the OSHA Construction Safety certification, hands-on training in BCGC's solar lab space, and 320 hours of on-the-job training (OJT).

Mayor Stephanie-Rawlings Blake and other officials joined us for a tour of the facilities, experienced the hands-on solar practice lab, learned more about the BCGC Solar Training, and met with Solar trainees to hear their stories.

Funding for this program is provided in part by the Abell Foundation, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, and the Alvin and Fanny B. Thalheimer Foundation. The program is also supported by One Baltimore for Jobs, a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, administered by the Mayor’s Office of Employment and Development in partnership with the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.
