SkillUp Washington was awarded a grant in energy efficiency by Living Cities. Please come back and visit us to check out our progress!

The Northwest Energy Efficiency Opportunities Project (NEW OP) is an industry led, energy efficiency intermediary, convened to specifically address this industry’s workforce concerns. The intermediary will develop and implement workforce strategies that address the needs of employers in both commercial and residential energy efficiency. This includes career pathway mapping, demand and supply chain analysis, curriculum development, cohort-based training, and bridging commercial and residential energy efficiency. The Intermediary expects in the future to modify, adapt, and consolidate the current community college delivery structure to support a more concise energy efficiency training delivery system in the region. This would include stackable, modularized content delivery in a College for Working Adults (CWA) model, with the intention of creating a CWA in Energy Efficiency in Phase II of SkillUp Washington.
