Sheridan Tech celebrated the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the Alternative Energy Lab at Sheridan Technical Center on Wednesday June 22nd. The programs offered in the Alternative Energy Lab include Solar Photovoltaic, Weatherization, LEED training and Solar Thermal Installation. Sheridan’s involvement with the Broward Alliance Green Think Tank presented an opportunity to join forces with OIC and Broward Minority Builders in the pursuit of two large DOL stimulus grants…POP (Pathways out of Poverty) and ETP (Energy Training Partnership) to develop this state of the art lab and training programs.

These grants focused on high quality workforce training in green areas targeted to low income residents of Broward County. The overall objectives of the grants were job placement, job retention, or job advancement in energy efficiency or energy generation fields.
