Solar Training Course in Six Nations of the Grand River

Relay Education and Ogwehoweh Skills and Trades Training Centre are excited to offer a two week solar training course. This is a free course open to Indigenous participants.

An in-person solar training course to learn the fundamentals of rooftop solar systems installation.  Training will include electricity and solar energy basics, hands-on experience using demonstration solar equipment, and Ministry of Labour certified Working at Heights training.

Renewable energy is an industry with huge potential in Canada. There is an immediate need among local solar installation companies to hire entry-level Solar Energy Technicians.

• Week one includes in person training of First Aid/CPR and Working at Heights/Fall Arrest. Along with training in electricity safety basics.
• In week two, participants will use skills from week one to build and install a demonstration off-grid solar power system.
