Solar Queen Technical Training Scholarship for Women

Building women technical capacities in the renewable energy industry

Significant gaps exist in the participation of women and men in the renewable energy industry and in the access of women and men to technological knowledge base. There is a general and societal belief about girls/women not being technically inclined thereby narrowing female careers to specific job roles which results to lower income, low self esteem, depression, stress, lack of economic growth and much more. 

The overall objectives of the solar queen technical training scholarship is to provide opportunities for women to develop skills and capacities that will allow tham reach their maximum potentials in the renewable energy industry. Specific objectives are;

  • Prepare women for technical roles in the renewable energy industry such as solar installers and field engineers.
  • Bridge the gender gap in the renewable energy industry by building workforce of competent women..
  • Mentor women to be employment ready and to drive solutions in the industry as solar installers or entrepreneurs.
  • Enable companies and organizations to access pool of trained and certified women installers that they can utilize to balance their workforce gender divide.
Eligibility Criteria
Must be a woman
Have passion for renewable energy
Motivated to contribute to universal energy access
Able to finance the remaining 50% of the course fee (N25,000)
