The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs are exploiting the job opportunities that solar energy technologies offer. CETA officials project as many as 347,000 new jobs by 1987 in the solar industry. CETA grants are funding demonstration projects in California, a state which foresees social, economic, and ecological benefits to be gained by funding solar technology. Early projects having demonstated that success is a factor of the project's scale, the amount of training workers have had, and the ratio of instructors to trainees, the 22-week training program has been made more rigorous and may be lengthened to 10 months. CETA trainees are able to find well-paying jobs. The California projects have emphasized the application of solar energy to meet the needs of the poor.
