Background
Founded in 1986, the primary mission of the LA Conservation Corps (LA Corps) is to provide at-risk young adults and school-aged youth with opportunities for success by providing them with job skills training, education, and work experiences with an emphasis on conservation and service projects that benefit the community.
The Solar Training Program was established through the generous grants of Southern California Edison, Rose Hills Foundation, and the Los Angeles Community College District. The program focus is to train 18-24 year olds
in the theory of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems, allow them to practice hands-on installation techniques, and then pair them with industry professionals to install residential and commercial systems for on-the-job training.
LA Corps has partnered with Los Angeles Trade Tech College for classroom and laboratory training. Additionally,
LA Corps is participating in installations with Solar Industry partners PermaCity, Grid Alternatives, and SolarCity.
Why Solar?
The LA Corps will be able to fulfill mission goals by initiating and
continuing this program. The LA Corps is committed to placing 18-
24 year olds in the growing solar industry. The installation of photo-voltaic systems also reduces dependence on non-renewable resources and educates the community on the benefits and functions of solar
power.
Partners and Support
County of Los Angeles, PermaCity, Los Angeles Trade Tech Col-lege, Sustainability for All, Grid Alternatives, CBS Studios, SolarCity, Southern California Edison, The Rose Hills Foundation, and the Los Angeles Community College District.
Current and Past Projects

CBS Studios - Project Description (see other side for project details)
This large-scale solar project was the second commercial installation for the LA Conservation Corps. Over 20 corps-
members (trainees) participated in this project. This partial ballast system on a flat concrete roof spanned two roofs at CBS Studios. The ISYS system is designed to be a ballast system, but some anchors were required. While the anchor
length did not need to be adjusted, the crown of the roof made keeping the desired tilt angle of 20 degrees a
challange.
