The interstate renewable energy council (irec) and our national and local partners will develop an online platform to collect solar training resources, improve solar recruitment and outreach processes, and streamline connections between solar training, job seekers, and employers, while prioritizing efforts to support members of disadvantaged communities (dacs). Modeled on irec's existing green workforce connect platform, the project will be national in scope and position training programs to support dramatic industry scaling. Irec will work with current and historic seto workforce training programs and other promising solar workforce development programs to identify best practices for solar workforce training. Using these best practices, irec will provide technical assistance (TA) to other training providers, community-based organizations (cbos), and employers, and other entities in order to establish a network of optimal training programs across the country, which will be connected to job-seekers, employers, and other stakeholders through irec's new online platform. The overall goal of the project is to establish a national online platform with job training resources and a TA program that will help facilitate connections between: ¿ at least 1,000 total workforce stakeholders ¿ 250 vetted training providers ¿ 2,500 job seekers
