The San Francisco Bay Area E-Contractor Academy is a workshop-based technical and business skill-building program that trains small, minority and disadvantaged contractors from low- and moderate-income communities to comply with local hiring and prevailing wage requirements as they successfully bid and secure public and private contracts for public works and utility projects. Those projects include infrastructure, solar project construction and services coupled with energy efficiency building retrofits and distributed energy storage.
