The National Institute of Technical Professional Training (Infotep), trained 50 municipalities as installers of photovoltaic solar panels, as part of the first training held in coordination with the City Council and the companies UrbaSolar and Indusermant, in this community.
Iris Hurtado, director of the Eastern Regional Infotep, speaking on behalf of the general director, Rafael Santos Badía, explained that the installers and assemblers of photovoltaic solar panels, are trained to perform the commissioning and maintenance of these systems that harness the sun’s energy.
“In a world in constant progress and changes, moved by the rise of industry 4.0, we value the importance of training in this area, which emerges as a new alternative for responsible and environmentally friendly energy consumption,” said Hurtado.
The regional director of Infotep highlighted that more than 30% of the graduates are women, who already have the opportunity to work in a growing trade, which will allow them to work for the livelihood of their families.
While Mayor Francisco Rojas, highlighted the impact that the training produces in the graduates, in the installation of photovoltaic solar panels.
