We have a problem: There are more Solar job opportunities than students!! Please help me spread the word: Do you, or someone you know want to be working full-time by Jun/July? I am looking for students who want a career in Solar!! We are offering CT-144 this Spring, Fri Evening (5:30-9:45) and Sat (9 a.m. to 3:40 p.m), for a six unit, 16-week course. It’s a challenging course, but the rewards are worth it. Upon conclusion of the class, successful students will attend... a hiring conference and will very likely immediately land a job that pays between $13-16/hour to start, with a $2-4/hr bump, typically in the first 6-9 months. We have 6 solar companies that regular attend with the intention of hiring our program graduates. Solar is hot. Our previous 5 classes have had high rates (80-90%) of employment. We offer it in the Spring on the weekends like this, so working folks have a chance to get educated/trained and get into a great career. If you don’t want a job, then we ask that you don’t sign up. If someone is interested in electrical work, construction, helping the environment, working lots of hours, and working in a growing, fast-paced industry, Solar is for them. About 50% of our graduates become installers as the entry-level job, but the other 50% do all kinds of other jobs in the industry: 1. Electrician 2. Electrical Inspector 3. Site Surveyor 4. Sales 5. Management 6. System Designers (must know AutoCAD) 7. Project Management (organize job files, customer relations, run permits --- office work) This is a CAREER, with lots of opportunities to grow, to promote, to earn higher wages, and to get into different areas of Solar and construction in general. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to people you think might be interested. Call me with any questions! My phone #: 760-245-4271 x2817. Or come by Construction Tech and we can talk about the program and the opportunities. Attached is a pamplet. Take a look. As a department head and instructor, it’s a lot of fun watching folks find a good career. And, as the class fills, don’t be afraid to go on the wait list. We’ll add you up to a total of 35 students! So far, we’ve never turned anyone away!! Help yourself or someone you know change their life!! Cheers, Tony Bonato Construction Tech

Classes are available here at Construction Technology! Sign up today for Spring 2015 classes!
