Clean energy programs and goals have created an unprecedented demand for home performance contractors, including for programs serving our most vulnerable households. Simply put, there are not enough contractors available to complete the work.

Our panel of project partners, including HeatSpring, Alidade Consultants, and the Building Performance Institute, brings expertise in designing and implementing programs with deep knowledge and experience in the workforce training and building performance sectors. We will outline our proposed solution: the Home Performance Contractor Incubator Program.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about a solution to accelerate your energy efficiency and weatherization programs, while fostering entrepreneurship in the communities you serve. We'll also discuss tactics to build positive and productive relationships between energy services programs and contractors.
