The Solar Program survey that asked employers to rank key technical and professional skills being taught, to identify additional important skills, and to list training their organizations currently provide is being analyzed. The results will summarized by the Solar Instructor and discussed with the Advisory Committee. It will be determined whether the current curriculum meets industry needs.

The Solar Energy Technology program provides installers, designers, and technical sales personnel the skills to assess sites; design systems; install, operate, and maintain solar electric and solar thermal systems for residential and commercial applications in the growing renewable energy industry. Potential employment possibilities will be with existing solar, electrical, and mechanical contractors to help expand their offerings of solar energy technologies. Other possible areas of employment are with energy consulting firms, design firms and utilities. With additional education and experience, graduates can expand their careers to energy analyst, journeyperson electrician/plumber, project manager, energy engineer, and environmental consultant.
