The Kern Community College District's 21st Century Energy Center was formed in 2009 with the goal of training individuals to work building utility-scale solar and wind projects in Kern County. The Center has trained more than 600 individuals to work in the Solar and Wind industries. These workers have helped to make Kern County the renewable energy capital of the United States. Students have also assisted in the installation of rooftop solar systems for more than 20 low-income families through the Center's its partnership with Grid Alternatives. The primary beneficiaries of Energy Center are unemployed and under-employed individuals seeking new skills and employment in the energy industry and the residents of Bakersfield and Kern County. The Energy Center played a pivotal role in securing funding for four public charging stations for electric vehicles, 30 high school and middle school teachers have received hands-on modules for students to build and test their own scale electric vehicles, and more than 120 First Responders have been trained to work safely with Electric Vehicles.
