The MA energy efficiency and clean energy industries have a diversity problem with an underrepresentation of women, people of color, and multilingual individuals. We are closing this gap by recruiting new, diverse talent and launching careers in the industries.
Our Approach
- We recruit, hire and train diverse multilingual talent
- We run a Bilingual Energy Specialist Pre-Apprenticeship Program that focuses on training multilingual individuals in the technical skills to become Energy Advisors – while paying them full time to help residents access immediate energy-cost savings.
- We offer seasonal, paid or credit-earning internships for college students and recent graduates, exposing them for the first time to opportunities in energy efficiency and clean energy.
