In the fall of 2008 KACO was introduced to the Cypress Mandela Training Center which is a non-profit organization that provides continuing education assistance to individuals for free.
Located in Oakland, a city of approximately 400,000 with one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the United States, the Cypress Mandela Training Center, Inc. offers a 16-week pre-apprenticeship program for Bay Area men and women over 18 years old. Training is both hands-on and in the classroom and prepares students for skilled trades jobs that are relevant to today’s construction industry.
The center not only provides construction training - in the past six months it has implemented a green building program with a heavy focus on energy efficiency and PV system installation training.
KACO has donated a working 1501xi inverter to expand their program and to provide their trainees the opportunity to work hands on with solar energy.
