Have you noticed more electric vehicles on the road lately? You’re not alone. As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across California, so does the need for the people who keep charging stations up and running.
That’s where Goodwill of Orange County’s new EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) Technician Training Program comes in. Designed to prepare individuals for careers in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle industry, this hands-on program is helping participants build skills, gain valuable experience, and connect with employers in a field that is only expected to grow.
Building Skills for a Growing Industry
Behind every EV charging station is a network of skilled technicians responsible for installation, maintenance, inspection, and troubleshooting. As more charging stations are built throughout California, employers are searching for trained workers who are ready to step into these important roles.
The EVSE Technician Training Program was created to help meet that demand while creating new career opportunities for individuals looking to enter a high-growth industry. Through the four-week paid training program, participants learn everything from EV charging technology and electrical fundamentals to workplace safety, customer service, and job readiness skills.
More Than Just Technical Training
At Goodwill OC, workforce development is about more than learning a new skill. It’s about creating pathways to meaningful employment and long-term career success.
That’s why participants not only receive hands-on technical instruction, but also gain access to career preparation resources and ongoing support after graduation. The goal is simple: help individuals feel confident and prepared as they take the next step in their careers.
Connecting Training to Real Career Opportunities
One of the most exciting aspects of the program is its direct connection to industry employers.
Goodwill OC works alongside EV charging companies and clean energy industry partners to ensure the curriculum reflects real workforce needs. Through these partnerships, participants can gain exposure to employers, learn from industry professionals, and access opportunities that can help launch their careers.
As demand for EV infrastructure continues to increase, the need for qualified technicians isn’t slowing down anytime soon. This program gives participants a chance to get in on the ground floor of an industry shaping the future of transportation.
Supporting a More Sustainable Future
The impact of the EVSE Technician Training Program extends beyond individual careers.
By helping train the workforce needed to support electric vehicle infrastructure, the program also contributes to the growth of clean energy solutions throughout our communities. It’s an example of how workforce development and sustainability can work hand in hand, creating opportunities for people while helping build a cleaner future for everyone.
