Training in both theoretical and practical skills enables students to develop career paths in the fields of Geothermal, Wind, Solar, and Sustainable Energy. Directed, experiential practice in all areas of energy technology maintenance and repair is provided given under simulated on-the-job conditions.

Government labor statistics and industry leaders project sustained growth of jobs in this industry for many years to come due to expanding technologies and an aging work force. Job growth is so strong that a shortage exists for qualified, knowledgeable people.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Frequently Asked Questions” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23003e7e” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_cypress_accordion title=”What are my program options? ” description=”Program options include certificate programs and an associate in science degree program. “][vc_cypress_accordion title=”How long does it take? ” description=”Depending on the program and the number of units taken each semester, completing a certificate program can take as little as one to two semesters and completing the associate of science degree program can take about two years.”][vc_cypress_accordion title=”How much does it cost? ” description=”The program cost is $46 per unit for California residents, not including books, fees, and supplies.
