Kankakee Community College is developing a model curriculum for community colleges to "revamp" their existing electrical technology Associate of Applied Science degree programs by adding a concentration and certification for renewable energy technicians. Technicians completing the curriculum will be qualified to install, maintain, and repair renewable energy technologies. The new curriculum consists of four renewable energy courses that focus on solar, thermal, and wind energy technologies, and include laboratory activities, field trips, work-based educational experiences, and assessment instruments. The curriculum is based on the premise that renewable energy technicians must know about electricity and electrical technology, and develops in students the knowledge/skills/competencies needed for the renewable energy workplace. The project is also providing (1) professional development for faculty, (2) a plan for fostering community partnerships that help define training needs, (3) job referral and placement services, (4) an articulation agreement with a university, (5) a career ladder for high school students and displaced workers, and (6) a workshop for helping other community colleges modify their electrical technology curricula to include renewable energy.

坎卡基社区学院正在为社区学院开发一个示范课程，通过增加可再生能源技术人员的集中和认证，“改造”其现有的电气技术应用科学学位课程。完成课程的技术人员将有资格安装，维护和维修可再生能源技术。新课程包括四个可再生能源课程，重点是太阳能，热能和风能技术，并包括实验室活动，实地考察，基于工作的教育经验和评估工具。该课程是基于可再生能源技术人员必须了解电力和电气技术的前提下，并在学生的可再生能源工作场所所需的知识/技能/能力的发展。该项目还提供：（1）教师的专业发展，（2）促进社区伙伴关系的计划，以帮助确定培训需求，（3）工作推荐和安置服务，（4）与大学的衔接协议，（5）高中生和失业工人的职业阶梯，及（6）举办工作坊，协助其他社区学院修改其电气技术课程，以纳入可再生能源。
