The Goal of This Innovative 36-MONTH Project Is to Bridge Gender Inequality and Racial Disparities in the Renewable Energy Sector by Customizing a Training and Career Pathway That Will Open Opportunities for Native American Women From All 574 Federally-recognized Tribes to Secure “rooftop-ready” Solar Energy Jobs Through Participation in Our 8-MONTH, Apprenticeship Readiness Program (arp). Project Objectives Around Equitable Access to Clean Energy Careers Will Be Achieved by Providing Wraparound Childcare Services and a Travel Stipend to Increase Access for Native American Women to Participate in This Program. Overall Project Goals Include: • Independent and Empowered Native American Women Will Have the Freedom and Opportunity to Pursue Family-sustaining Careers While Simultaneously Impacting Traditionally Disadvantaged Communities • Barriers Associated With Access and Career Advancement Are Removed by Providing Childcare Stipends And/or On-site Childcare at RCR'S Training Center for Participants That Have Families and Childcare Concerns • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) Solar Jobs Census Goals Are Improved by Partnering With Amicus Solar to Place Program Participants in Quality Jobs Immediately Upon Completion of the Arp Training
