PRE - A.R.P.

Pre-Apprenticeship Readiness Program

The Solar Pre-Apprenticeship Readiness Program (PRE-ARP) prepares Native American and Alaska Native individuals for hands-on solar work and future apprenticeship or workforce opportunities.

Through a combination of online coursework and in-person lab training, participants build foundational knowledge, job readiness skills, and real-world installation experience. No prior solar or electrical experience is required—just a commitment to show up, learn, and work safely as part of a team.
