Solar Energy Technician program resumes January 19

In response to hundreds of projected new, well-paid, local jobs for photovoltaic solar panel installers, inspectors, technicians and business development specialists, Sierra College will launch a new Solar Energy Technician program in fall of 2009. Two classes will be held at the Roseville Gateway campus located at 333 Sunrise Ave. in Roseville, CA and one class will be held at the Loma Rica site (NOT on the NCC campus), located at 13199 Nevada City Ave. in Grass Valley, CA. The first class is Fundamentals of Photovoltaics (ESS 30) found under Environmental Studies & Sustainability (ESS).

Whether you need one course or a certificate to advance your career, or you want to enter the field, Sierra College can train you. With business partners in construction, the energy industry and electrical utilities, Sierra College has designed practical hands-on coursework and labs that reflect the skills industry seeks. Graduates will be positioned to take advantage of this growth industry. Learn more by clicking here.
