If youre interested in working with your hands, being part of a team and using your expertise to create some- thing meaningful, these dependable, steady construc- tion careers might be the path for you:
Solar Photovoltaic Installers:
Solar photovoltaic installers (PV) are given the task of assembling, setting up and maintaining rooftop or other systems that convert sunlight into energy. Due to the increased demand for eco-friendly structures and solar powered electricity systems, this career path is predicted to grow by over 50 percent from 2020 to 2030, a much higher average than normal. Education: Although installers typically need a high school diploma, some take courses at a technical school or community college. Installers typically receive on-the-job training lasting up to one year.
