Short Course for Finding a Solar Career

1) Good sources for CA solar jobs include greenjobs.com and renewableenergyaccess.com

2) See Ongrid.net's career resources page for a bunch of other resources and a couple articles by Andy Black, who authored the original Dream Job workshops

3) Network like crazy, including the ASES conference in July (in Cleveland), the SEPA conference in Long Beach in Sept., and SDREO's Solar Week in Sept.

4) Begin attending the San Diego ASES chapter meetings. I've cc'd Richard Caputo who can let you know when and where.

5) Take a solar installation class at SEI (solarenergy.org) and then volunteer as much as you can - through public speaking and in hands-on installations.

6) Research and stay informed - renewableenergyaccess.com and solarbuzz.com are good starts. I have a few good lists for other resources in our various Enews newsletters, which you can download directly from our main webpage at norcalsolar.org.

That's the 'short course' for finding your solar career.
