ENERGY STAR Webinar: Learn How Energy Skilled™ and ENERGY STAR® Work Together
December 4 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Heat pumps and heat pump water heaters are highly efficient products that can help homeowners save energy and money across the country. However, challenges remain in recruiting, training, and upskilling the workforce to sustain and expand the progress in adoption of these products.
To promote the importance of the right workforce skills for optimized performance in heat pump systems, the Department of Energy (DOE) created the Energy Skilled™ initiative. Training and certification programs recognized by DOE as Energy Skilled prepare workers to meet the demand for next-generation home equipment. This designation highlights credentials that are aligned with clean energy transition goals and qualifies these programs for workforce funding opportunities through the Inflation Reduction Act.
Join to hear how ENERGY STAR and DOE are collaborating to bring together the leading efficiency technologies and the workforce to deliver them to consumers.
What the webinar will cover:
• The value of Energy Skilled-recognized credentials in the labor market
• How to seek recognition for your program
• How ENERGY STAR and Energy Skilled work together
