Alderville Solar Panel Training Program equips First Nation and Aboriginal learners with renewable energy, solar installation and maintenance skills through Fleming College, blending hands-on training, safety certification, troubleshooting, and workforce development for job readiness.
The Core Facts
Training that teaches solar installation, maintenance, safety, and job readiness for First Nation and local learners.
- Cohort: 15 men and 3 women selected via application and interviews.
- Curriculum: solar fundamentals, components, mechanical design, troubleshooting.
- Includes coaching, leadership, and workplace health and safety training.
A partnership between Alderville First Nation and Fleming College is bringing green technology training to 18 students.
The official launch of the solar panel installation and maintenance-skills training program for 15 men and three women took place in Alderville in Eastern Ontario region, said Keri Gray of the Alderville Learning Centre.
The college is providing the instruction related to the skills through a college class for the green economy approach and the centre is working with the students to ensure that when the program is completed in March they are job ready and have taken the necessary steps to become gainfully employed, Gray said in an interview.
The students were selected after an application and interview process, similar to Durham energy programs now underway in the region, she said.
"The students are comprised of Alderville First Nation residents and surrounding Aboriginal residents that completed applications for acceptance into the program," states a media release.
"This collaboration continues the tradition of sharing and relationship building that began with our ancestors. We look forward to working with Fleming and industry partners to assist our community members and surrounding neighbours with greater accessibility to training in its alternative energy sector of employment, where firefighters showcase solar energy through public projects," it also states.
Both theory and hands-on training will involve courses ranging from solar energy fundamentals, similar to a course in solar panel installation offered elsewhere, and system components to mechanical design, troubleshooting, coaching and leadership, plus workplace health and safety.
