#NationWISE is a multi-city round table that looks to address how to help women enter and grow in each local market. On February 23rd, Women in Solar Energy (WISE) will hold #NationWISE events in cities around the country to facilitate local conversation and feature women employed in aspects of the market unique to each city. 

Why Hold It?

The solar market is BIG. According to SEIA, 21 states have installed over 100MW of solar in the US! But it’s also diverse: depending on where you live you may be more likely employed in utility scale projects, mom and pop shops, YeildCos, policy development, or residential sales (and that’s just the tip of the iceberg). A diverse industry means diverse job opportunities that should include more diversity across in the industry. 

About the Chicago Event

We’ll be meeting at Coalition Energy (18 S. Michigan) from 6-8pm on Tuesday February 23rd. The evening will include a panel discussion about increasing women in the clean tech workforce.
