As the demand for renewable energy in California grows, CPA has continued to invest in training a workforce of contractors, electricians, and workers prepared to install and maintain clean energy technologies.
CPA provided more than $11,000 to the Ventura County Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee for energy storage trainers — hands-on classroom devices for apprentices to practice wiring battery systems as part of the Energy Storage & Microgrid Certification (EASMATC) program.
The EASMATC is developed by UC Davis Proto Gen Inc. and led by Penn State University to provide trainees with a comprehensive understanding of electrical construction, safety codes, and standards. These energy storage trainers were put into service this year.
CPA has dedicated more than $1 million for workforce development programs and skills training with labor training organizations that connect job opportunities to people in marginalized communities.
