Fairly new to the solar industry, Tikkan joined Powertec Solar in September 2022 through an internship with Indigenous Clean Energy’s Generation Power program. A renewable clean energy career training program for Indigenous, First Nations, and Metis youth. She’s also apart of another program with Indigenous Clean Energy. The first cohort of the ImaGENation program that she joined in 2021. ImaGENation is a capacity building program that grants youth funding to create a clean energy project in their community. She is in the process along with her project partner promoting food security initiatives by building a solar powered greenhouse in her community. It is from this project that sparked her interest to join the solar route.
