The ACT Now Coalition is spearheading a transformative initiative by introducing comprehensive solar training to West Virginia, made possible through federal funding via the American Rescue Plan Act. This visionary program is not just about learning technical skills but fostering holistic growth. Participants engage in diverse modules, including Renewable Energy, OSHA 10, Worksite Safety, Mental Health, First Aid, Financial Literacy, and Interview and Resume Building. This multi-faceted approach aims not only to equip individuals with the technical prowess demanded by the renewable energy sector but also to empower them with essential life skills.
