We are currently focused on pairing those already holding international qualifications and living in Germany with local solar energy firms. The areas of focus are as follows:

• Electrician
• Roofer
• Electrical Engineer 
• Electrical Technician
• Mechanical Engineer
• Environmental Engineer
• Campaign Planner
• Solar Technician (Installation and Maintenance)
• Sustainability Manager
• Production Employee
• Warehouse worker
• IT Administrator
• Software Engineer
• Mechanic
• Process Engineer
• Welder

We can support in the preparation of documents for professional recognition process if this is required by the partnering firm.

We will soon be able to support those looking to enter the industry as a career changer. A German language level of at least B1.2 is usually required but some exceptions may apply.   

Anyone over the age of 18 living in Berlin or Brandenburg with the means to travel, if applicable, can apply with one of regional partners including Arrivo, Club Dialog and Einstieg für Aufstieg.

Applicants from those with refugee status looking to commence full-time work in solar energy are welcomed. 

During the consultation with our migrant organisation partner, or shortly thereafter, each applicant's CV will be uploaded to our secure server. Soon after, you will receive a data release link that will allow us to share your details with a partnering solar firm upon their request. In some cases we may also contact you directly to request an intro video or potentially a pre-screening interview online.

Note that the time from application to potential contact is dependent on client vacancies. 

There is no fee for applicants. 

The Solar Catalyst Program was launched to help Berlin reach its target for powering at least 25% of the city with solar energy by 2045.

The program is open to all applicants who meet the criteria listed above, but is primarily aimed at supporting those on refugee status in the Berlin/Brandenburg region.

The interconnective approach enables us to provide a formalised and trusted process that is recognised by regional solar energy partners looking for workers able to  assist the energy transition.

This clear solar energy focus also helps to provide a level of security for applicants with German residency renewable obligations. 

greentech.training can further support both parties with long-term integrative services such as professional recognition documentation preparation, supporting letters of reference for visa renewal,  as well as online training for cross-cultural communication, mental health promotion and worker retention for companies.
