Clean Energy Program

The Northwest Native Chamber is developing innovative programs to support Native communities by creating jobs in the Clean Energy sector, preparing businesses for climate-resilient construction contracts, and reducing energy costs for Native homeowners through residential retrofits by Native contractors.

This educational program will equip the Native community in Portland with the knowledge and skills they need to secure jobs in the fast-growing solar and renewable energy industries. The training is tailored to accommodate a wide range of participants, with no prior experience in solar energy required!
