Power52 Brings Energy Sector Job Training to Urban Communities

The Renewable Energy Sector's demand for new, career-minded recruits continues to be of primary concern for employers across the United States.

In response to this need, contractors, manufacturers, vocational schools and other learning institutions have launched wide-ranging informational campaigns designed to explain the value of careers in the solar industry.

Ray Lewis, Cherie Brooks, and Rob Wallace. The power trio energizing Power52.

And there’s one Baltimore, Md.-based organization that’s working in a special way to help grow those career opportunities for youth in urban communities, who have been more affected than others by the hard knocks of life, at a very young age. It’s called the Power52 Foundation, which is funded in part by Power52 Energy Solutions.

Power 52 Foundation exists to strengthen communities and inspire people to achieve their potential through hands-on job training in the energy sector. Power52’s long-term community development strategy is designed to break the cycles of poverty, unemployment, under employment and incarceration in our Urban Communities across the nation, while simultaneously advancing communities’ resilience through a sustainable strategy.

Power52 finds locations in the city and trains its community members to construct solar farms that will provide access to clean energy, classroom instruction, on the job training, and long term employment opportunities.
