MA is building a statewide weatherization, energy efficiency and building sciences training system.

NOW is the time to bring your unique expertise about serving low-income, under-skilled individuals to this process. The scope of this endeavor is huge - and so is the opportunity to build career pathways from your program (be it an adult literacy program or a job readiness/skilll training program) to this training system.

The Clean Energy Center issued the RFR late in February, the CommPASS system has the details (search for energy efficiency) and the bidders conference is Thurs. March 19. The proposals are due in late April. Get yourself to the planning table!!! Community based wd programs have a lot to offer and this industry sector holds promise for your students and clients.

Take this opportunity to reach out to your WIB and your local community college - talk about articulation, talk about job readiness, talk about the education and support services necessary to ensure access!  TALK and be involved in building this training system.
