*Please note that on condition of contract we have omitted the company's name from this article.* The communications industry recognizes the rampant growth of the renewable energy market. Specifically, photovoltaic energy has become a huge sector of the green energy industry. That's why employees of a major telecommunications company turned to Infinite Solar to deliver the high caliber training the company needs. As the nation continues to turn away from dependence upon non-renewable, foreign energy sources, solar energy provides one of the best alternatives. Safe, clean, perpetually available, and affordable, solar power leads the green energy movement. It's little wonder why these telecom employees would seek a solar energy educator to teach these in demand skills. By broadening their skill set, our students enable themselves to more smoothly transition out of communications industry careers and seek a career in the solar energy industry. Entering as a well-qualified solar installation professional gives them the advantage to quickly excel in their new field. They can avoid many of the costly mistakes of someone new to solar energy and soon become a valuable part of a solar installation company or, with the right partnerships, start their own solar energy business. As with any industry, obtaining both classroom knowledge and hands-on experience propels any job candidate to the top of the list. Solar energy is no different. Infinite Solar's balanced approach to solar education offers learners the best of both “book learning” and practical, functional instruction in everything solar, whether they are new to the industry like our students from this class or seasoned professionals seeking to refresh their education and hone their solar installation and sales skills. Both types of students benefit from Infinite Solar's experienced instructors, certified curriculum and proven track record for turning out competent, successful graduates. Over the course of 12 evenings, the team received a comprehensive education about the solar industry: fundamentals, installation, sales, and more. The team learns all the hands-on skills they will need to take their careers to the next level. By eliminating much of the learning curve, the employees have advanced in the booming solar energy industry. Without this type of instruction, the participants would have years of frustrating and costly mistakes ahead of them. Infinite Solar's Executive Director, Andrew Zimdahl, also attended the class to gain a more in depth perspective of Infinite Solar's students to further improve the course and better relate to the students' experience in the classroom.
