P4A’s training capabilities are growing with the addition of a renewables training center in Michigan. Site renovations began in May. The new, standalone facility will have seven classrooms and a large bay to host a wind nacelle to be used for wind turbine training. The wind nacelle sits at the top of the tower and houses the gear box, low and high speed shafts, generator, controller and the brake. Outside the facility, a small solar farm will be situated so that it can supply energy for the building. The center will host training for P4A’s renewable specialist apprenticeship program.
