Colorado Solar Career Expo results are in, participation doubles from last year!

Solar Energy International (SEI) would like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who made the 2018 Colorado Solar Career Expo possible. We are proud to announce that this year’s Expo had double the participation from industry employers compared to last year, over 24 came out to network with industry job seekers!

The Expo was brought to you in partnership with GRID Alternatives and the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (COSEIA), as a part of the Solar Ready Colorado initiative. Solar Ready Colorado is a statewide effort through Solar Energy International and industry partners to expand the activities of outreach, recruiting, and training to the rapidly growing Colorado solar industry and jobs market.

Through industry partnerships and support from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the program provides a dedicated outreach and recruitment effort as well as technical training through SEI’s long running, non-profit 501(c)(3) technical training program to those interested in entering the Colorado solar industry.

The Expo, which was co-located with COSEIA’s 2018 Solar Power Mountain West Conference,  also attracted over 115 Colorado-based job seekers who had the opportunity to network with employers such as Namaste Solar, Sunrun, RES Group, Empire Solar Group, juwi Inc., Vivint Solar, the Sierra Club, and many more.

The Expo followed a Solar Jobs Panel led by SEI Director of Marketing and Communications Christopher Turek, with panelists from Sunsense Solar, Empowered Energy Systems, and SEI. Attendees were able to hear about the most sought-after skills employers are looking for in the industry today.
