SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - October 26, 2009) - Ameri-Skills (http://www.ameriskillstech.com)
announced today that they are now offering a turnkey solar training program
that can be utilized by community colleges, universities, trade schools,
adult continuing education, Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and Veteran
Affairs Education Assistance Programs to startup new solar training classes
in their community. The solar training program will allow any school to
begin a solar training program to teach students the entry-level basics for
installing solar PV electric systems.
To learn more about Ameri-Skills solar training programs, please stop by

Ameri-Skills' solar training program was certified by ETA International's

provides training school certifications for solar and wind workforce
training programs.
The Ameri-Skills turnkey solar training program provides a certified
instructor; training manuals; "hands-on" exercises; and the ETA
International solar entry-level certification for students who pass the ETA
Level I PV Installer Certification exam and want to pursue a "green job."

to participate in Federal Workforce Investment Act programs that will give
students access to approximately $3,000 to $5,000 to pay for tuition fees
to learn a new skill for jobs in the solar electric (photovoltaic), solar
thermal, small wind generation, micro-hydro power generation and other
Alternative Energy technologies. Learn more about community college grants
