New Year, New Certification Opportunities for Home Energy Workers

The Energy Department's Weatherization Assistance Plan (WAP) is well known for its efforts to enhance the lives of low-income American families through energy efficient home upgrades, but it also focuses on establishing a skilled and certified workforce.

As part of the Guidelines for Home Energy Professionals project, WAP collaborated with trainers and technicians from across the home performance industry to develop high-quality, nationally-recognized professional certifications.

The certification Plan requires professionals to demonstrate competency and know-how through a mix of prerequisites, training, and on-the-job experience. For the complete story, read the EERE Blog.
