Boosting Contractor Capacity to Meet Home Performance Demand

This is a live webinar that will happen on Wednesday August 14th @ 1pm eastern (USA). The edited presentation will then be available here as a free course.

We are going to present a new model for building contractor capacity: a Home Performance Contractor Incubation Program.

The primary target audience for this presentation is entities that are most concerned about not having enough contractor capacity. This includes:

  • State and federal agencies
  • Utility and other program administrators
  • Non-profit affiliates

As you know, there is a high demand for contractors in government-funded residential construction-focused areas that serve our most vulnerable households. This demand has increased through transformative funding opportunities for clean energy projects around the country. Simply put, there are not enough contractors available to complete the work.

In this webinar, we will present a plan. Our panel of project partners, including HeatSpring, Alidade Consultants, and the Building Performance Institute, brings expertise in designing and implementing programs with deep knowledge and experience in the workforce training and building performance sectors. We will outline our proposed solution: the Home Performance Contractor Incubation Program.

Home performance contractors looking to scale their operations, or contractors in adjacent markets like HVAC, plumbing, solar energy, and electrical are also encouraged to attend. Your companies are in the best position to grow, and this presentation will give you some ideas about how to do it.
