About

Green Careers Texas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2016 that provides solar installation training as a pathway to living wage work for qualified, low-income individuals. Our solar training programs move participants along the solar career path, from classroom to hands-on, to ensure every trainee is job-ready on day one. GCT also offers BPI’s Building Science Principles certificate course as well.

Green Careers Texas is proud to serve as Dallas Independent School District Career Technology Education (CTE) Industry Partners providing both onsite and offsite training for electrical students.
WHY SOLAR and ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

Building a skilled workforce creates the opportunity to adapt and evolve to continued changes. Access to employment in the solar and energy efficiency industries has the potential to improve lives and livelihoods.

Exposing individuals, including women, from underrepresented backgrounds to a wide array of sustainability-focused job opportunities educates, prepares, and equips individuals with the resources and workforce development needed to achieve upward mobility through clean energy careers.
