Keeping Solar and Wind Industries Buzzing
The renewable energy industry is expanding at an incredibly rapid pace. In fact, industry analysts believe that solar power generators, alone, will produce most of the energy needed around the world within 50 years. Potential abounds, from efficient, profitable operations for power producers to clean, sustainable energy for the North American public.
The Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters has the skilled carpenters and millwrights to build the facilities, farms, panels, and towers needed to harness these unlimited natural resources. The IKORCC is aggressively working to ensure it’s carpenters and millwrights are prepared to help employers leverage opportunities found in the North American energy industry.
Training, industry partnerships, and establishing relationships with key manufacturers gives IKORCC members a competitive advantage on jobsites, and positions IKORCC contractors as the best choice for the installation and maintenance of wind turbines and solar heating panels, as well as newer strategies such as small hydro, modern biomass, geothermal and biofuels.
