Weatherization and Energy Efficiency Course Program is Ahead of it's time!
The green movement is making a prevalent impact nationwide on the way corporations, government and local communities conduct daily activities. But there's another segment of the population whose interest in ‘going green' could create an estimated 87,000 new jobs in the clean energy economy (source: U.S. Department of Energy). We're talking about homeowners.
Nationwide, homeowners are more educated than ever before about the advantages of being energy conscious. As a result, they are pursuing ways to save money on rising energy costs by weather-proofing their homes – which can reduce heating bills by 32% and overall energy bills by about $350 per year at current prices (U.S. Department of Energy).
And there's more good news - under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, about $8 billion has been invested into state and local weatherization and energy efficiency programs. This means the Department of Energy will partner with state and local governments to put thousands of Americans to work and save families hundreds of dollars per year on their energy bills (DOE). We are not offering job placement, however based upon state and federal documentation, there is a need for high quality, energy efficiency inspectors, who are environmentally compliant.
Prepare to join the growing clean energy workforce with our Weatherization and Energy Efficiency Program. Upon successful completion of this course, you can take REA (Residential Energy Assessment Designating) certification exam with confidence and launch a new career in an industry that needs trained workers – and that can be you.
