Stories From The Road: New Green Tech Worker Learning on the Job

One month ago, we kicked off our joint “Road to Recovery” series with the Sacramento Bee with a look at how the capital region’s green-tech sector might help pull the economy out of the Great Recession. Our report focused on the story of 40-year-old Jim Ridgley, who was learning how to install a solar electric system.

(Listen to the story here.)

We followed him during his first day at a new job with a solar company after a career in conventional construction.  Now, one month later, how’s he doing?  Capital Public Radio’s Ben Adler caught up with Ridgley for our latest installment of “Stories from the Road.”
