Invenergy has entered into a partnership with renewable energy training company Airstreams Renewable to support military veterans and military spouses seeking careers in clean energy.
The partnership furthers Invenergy’s commitment to military veterans and will remove barriers to participation in Airstreams Renewables training for operational careers, by providing needed transitional support and assisting with their job placement pipeline.
In addition to supporting recruiting efforts, Invenergy funding will provide for temporary housing, workplace tooling and personal protective equipment, travel, and childcare support.
“Airstreams Renewables builds on military veterans’ skills and experience and provides the clean energy industry with a trained and qualified workforce,” said John Majewski, Senior Vice President of Third-Party Services at Invenergy.
“We are proud to advance this partnership and to provide opportunities for veterans to protect our nation’s energy security as they build a sustainable world.”
Airstreams Renewables programmes help active-duty personnel and veterans transition to civilian life.
As part of the Department of Defense SkillBridge programme, Airstreams connects service members with industry partners for real-world job training where they gain valuable civilian work experience in the renewable energy sector during their last 180 days of service and helps them secure careers in clean energy, telecommunications, and other industrial sectors.
More than 7000 military veterans and military spouses have completed the program at Airstreams Renewables across its eight SkillBridge active-duty branch campuses and at its newly expanded National Training Center.
