Professional training used to be the path to salvation.

  • Enroll in a school
  • Take on a little debt
  • Party and study
  • Graduate
  • Enter the workforce
  • Pay off your student loans
  • Start saving for retirement

But with the economy being what it is, an alarming number of students graduate with zero job prospects, a mountain of debt, and fancy degrees or certificates that don’t really open any doors.

In Florida, a whopping 8% of students actually default on their loans.

Solar Panel Installation Training – Student Debt You Can Afford

Not all educational opportunities and corresponding loans are created equal.  While an MBA degree may be a ticket to the poorhouse, there are many professional certifications that actually do open doors – right away.

It’s just a matter of finding training opportunities that:

  • Don’t cost a lot
  • Don’t require oodles of time to complete
  • Actually lead to well-paying, in-demand jobs

If you live in renewable energy hotspots like California, New Jersey, or Florida, solar panel installation training is one such educational option that actually ends up paying for itself.

How is that exactly?

Solar Energy Training in Florida Is Affordable

For starters, solar panel installation training is affordable enough to pay with a credit card.

Now, you may have a ton of credit card debt already (don’t we all), but $1,000 to $2,000 is a far cry from the tens of thousands of dollars that most students end up having to pay when they graduate from 2- and 4-year institutions.

For the price of a new computer or flat-screen TV, you can receive professional solar panel installation training that keeps you employed for decades.

What’s more, there are a lot of additional ways that you can cover the cost of your solar energy training.

In some cases, future employers will help defray the cost, provided that you work with them for a set number of years.  If you’re member of a construction, electrical, or safety union, your local chapter might help with the bill.  And don’t forget military benefits.  As part of the GI Bill, the Department of Veterans Affairs may pay for some or all of your solar panel installation training.

Solar Energy Training in Florida Is Fast

How long would it take you to register for the SATs, write your personal statement, fill out a financial aid form, and gather up academic and professional references to apply to your local university?

A month?  A couple of weeks?  5 business days?

In that time, you could have completed solar panel installation training with an accredited program licensed by the Florida Department of Education.  Days after “deciding” to enroll in a solar energy training program, you could already be in the workforce.

Solar Panel Installation Training Leads to In-Demand Jobs

The #1 obstacle to solar growth?  Lack of qualified professionals.  That’s right.  Even during an unemployment crisis across the country, there is a renewable energy labor gap.  Solar installation firms are desperately seeking new talent to satisfy growing demand from businesses and homeowners.

This labor gap is nationwide so you can potentially work anywhere.  And you don’t actually have to live in Florida, California, or New Jersey to receive your training.  At US Solar Institute, we receive students from New York, Jamaica, and beyond who complete their solar panel installation training in Florida and go back home less than a week later.

In, out, and hired – without a lot of debt.  And with hourly wages ranging from $12 to $25, you can potentially pay for your entire solar education within 2 standard workweeks (fewer than 80 hours).

If you’re interested in affordable, valuable, and in-demand training, we can help.
