Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College offers an exciting program to train students for careers in the emerging field of clean energy technology. The Clean Energy Technician certificate program is a short-term program that combines courses in alternative and renewable energy systems with traditional electricity topic courses.

The program is directed at training professional technicians and interested individuals to implement electric-based renewable energy systems in homes and small businesses. Clean energy is defined as energy that is generated and used in the highest feasible mode of environmental and social responsibility. Renewable energy systems and highly efficient energy systems are examples of clean energy systems.

The certificate program is intended to provide future technicians with basic clean energy information and the skills needed to work in residential, small business, and tribal community environments. Students will also be well-suited to work in the rapidly developing industry of electric energy-based renewable energy systems, and in electric energy-based high efficiency systems.

Students will become acquainted with electric circuits, the electric utility industry, various renewable energy systems, some common electric-based renewable energy technologies, and several electric-based high efficiency systems. These technologies include photovoltaic panels and small wind energy systems for the generation of electric power.
