SOLAR BELIZE offers free solar training, and green business opportunities for low income and under-employed residents. Serving as a solar and green-jobs advocate, we work with our partners to promote solar and inclusive green economic development in our poverty stricken country. This will in effect be a apprentice program that is also implemented in Germany where the appeal of vocational training is highly favored. Where employment after graduation is almost guaranteed. That could explain why about half of German high school graduates enter into vocational programs. In contrast, 69 percent of American high school graduates enroll in two or four-year colleges, while 29 percent immediately enter the work force, according to a 2016 report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. I myself was enrolled in a trade school OWITVET. As a current student I can honestly say that no sort of training or teaching is occurring in the school. Belizeans need a system that works.
