Training Programs
The Clean Tech Institute is offering advanced certificate training programs for careers in Clean Tech and Renewable Energy.
The Institute has developed advanced workforce training curricula and provides technical training programs to equip business executives, professional managers and dislocated workers to enter into emerging clean tech industries.
The Clean Tech Workforce Training Program has been developed to assist:
- Business executives and professionals: to re-engineer their company’s product development, manufacturing process and expand market share.
- Scientists or engineers: to become an expert and a trainer in advanced solar thin film, nanotech batteries.
- Apprentices: qualified candidates are encouraged to apply for the Apprentice Program with paid on-the-job training.
- Displaced workers with a background in technology: to get new skills for a career in a high growth industry.
These high tech professional development training workshops are taught by a world-class faculty consisting of professors from Stanford University, NASA, UC Berkeley, California Institute of Nanotechnology, Clean Tech Institute and senior executives of our industry partners.
Currently Offered Training Programs: in two locations in Northern and Southern California
