Spotlight On: Building & Technical Trades

New in 2025: Clean Energy Career Exploration Seminar

This year ACE MV ran the first cohort of the Clean Energy Career Exploration seminar, with local employers from the Electrical, Solar, Wind, Energy Efficiency, HVAC, and Automotive industries sharing real insights into career pathways, training and certifications, and hands-on demonstrations for participants. A group of 12 cohort students had the opportunity to engage with and learn from employers during this 4-week seminar consisting of presentations, site visits, and networking opportunities.

This program was made possible thanks to generous grant funding from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and our employer partners:

Career Explorations: Electrical Program

In 2025, ACE MV continued its collaboration with Upper Cape Tech—bringing electrical classwork and training for tomorrow’s electricians, here to Martha’s Vineyard—supporting a cohort of 60 students working towards licensure, with 20 receiving financial aid.

Looking Ahead
