Business Leadership Council

We’re incredibly proud of our work through the 548 Foundation’s Clean Energy Training Program. In just over a year, we’ve graduated 60+ students giving them the hard and soft skills necessary to be successful personally and professionally. https://lnkd.in/ekEHMp2v “Instructors like Michael Thomas and Marques Jones, who graduated from the program last year, serve as role models for students. ‘The program re-affirms me,’ Vega said. ‘I never had anyone in my life to be an example like that.’” We’re grateful to our sponsors, partners, and allies for helping us have such a positive impact on our community. #548Together
