Today’s great insight comes via Experience’s To Green or not to Green blog and the following posted, entitled “ Solar Energy and the Job Market” was written by Megan McLaughlin. From one Megan to another, although I came up with the clever, new title (If you haven’t learned yet you must ‘toot your own horn’ as the old adage goes…perhaps a topic for another post?). OK enough already, on to the great article…
The economy has certainly seen better days and although jobs are few and far between, many companies have recently seen an increase in the availability of jobs. Solar Energy companies seem to be doing quite well as far as jobs are concerned. If you are looking to jump start or change your career and have been held back due to the state of the economy, perhaps you may be interested in looking into solar energy companies.
For example, one company in particular is boasting many wonderful jobs right now: SunPower. According to the history on their website, “SunPower has been developing world record-breaking solar technology since the 1970s.” Today, they “continue to provide high-energy solar systems for the world’s business and technology leaders, governmental agencies, retailers and other entities, along with the highest-efficiency solar panels for international residential customers.”
With job offerings across the country and around the world that include Accounting, Customer Service, Engineering, Marketing, Sales and so much more, SunPower is certainly holding up pretty well during this tough economic time. They also offer great benefits including health and employee solar purchase benefits, not many companies offer that kind of incentive!
