Community Solar Skills Program
October 17 - October 18
On October 17th and 18th at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Iron & Earth and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band will be presenting a Condensed Community Solar Skills Training Program.
Iron & Earth has been presenting our community-based rapid upskilling program since 2020 and are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the community in La Ronge on this latest project. It is part of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band’s Community Energy Planning Project. Through this project, the Lac La Ronge Indian Band aims to create one Community Energy Plan for each of the 6 communities of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band to address the communities’ current and future energy needs.
We are currently accepting applications from community members based in the six communities of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (Grandmother’s Bay, Hall Lake, La Ronge, Little Red River, Stanley Mission and Sucker River), community members in the surrounding areas, and from fossil fuel industry and Indigenous workers with an interest in learning the skills needed to participate in solar energy project design, installation, and maintenance.
Thanks to the generous contributions of several funders, this two day Condensed Community Solar Skills program is available at no cost to participants.
The knowledge and experience provided by the Condensed Community Solar Skills Program will empower program participants to find and pursue meaningful work along related career pathways.
