SoCal technical school to provide rare hands-on skills to train badly needed renewable energy technicians
Demand for renewable energy is creating a desperate need for people to work in the field.The solution: bring the tech to the technicians.
"We are right at the pivotal point of this industry to really help the workforce get more trained technicians that can be out there," said Migdalia Vazquez Valle, the Universal Technical Institute campus president. "Especially making a lucrative career out of being a wind technician or industrial maintenance technician."
Having access to this real world technology will be invaluable for the students hoping to understand the workings of a bed plate, generator or gear box, school officials said. A critical part of the program will be working on the turbine and learning how to stay safe hundreds of feet in the air, whether on land or over water.
