If you’re applying to the Upskill Prize for the Solar Manufacturing Workforce, make sure your application is submitted by May 21 at 5 p.m. ET! We highly encourage you to apply early to avoid technical difficulties. The submission portal closes at 5 p.m. ET sharp and we will not accept late submissions.

Remember to review the Official Rules to clarify what’s expected of each submission. Get ready to tell us about your comprehensive workforce training plan to train current workers and/or attract and train new workers in partnership with training organizations. We encourage you to consider how your training plan aims to attract new individuals, especially from lower-income and disadvantaged communities to careers in solar manufacturing. 

Looking for support to get your submission over the finish line? Upskill Prize Power Connector ADL Ventures shared tips and tricks for success on a webinar you can learn from here. You can also stream the informational webinar to catch up on prize basics, post a question in the HeroX Forum, or email the prize team at .

And don’t forget – submissions will be accepted and awarded on a 4-6 month rolling basis. You are allowed to apply for multiple deadlines in order to win more than once.

We look forward to seeing your innovative training plans next week!
