MassGREEN Initiative Update: Pilot Schools
WEATHERIZATION INSTALLER COURSE PILOT OFFERING SITES:
On Tuesday June 15th, 2010, we contacted four of our seven lead community colleges and offered them the opportunity to pilot our weatherization installer course in September. We are pleased to announce that all four are “on board” with this venture and are working diligently to finalize the many details associated with such an endeavor. Those four schools are:
Bristol Community College
Greenfield Community College
North Shore Community College
Springfield Technical Community College
At present, we expect to have our instructors trained and ready to go by no later than mid-September and the pilot course ready to roll out at all four colleges in late September.
WEATHERIZATION BUSINESS START-UP COURSE PILOT OFFERING SITES:
Also on Tuesday, we contacted the remaining three lead community colleges and offered them the opportunity to pilot our “So You Want to Start a Weatherization Business” course. This course is a vastly expanded version of the 3-hour course offered earlier this year (approx. 35 hours). We are pleased to announce that all three are ready and willing to do so. Those three schools are:
Berkshire Community College
Quinsigamond Community College
Roxbury Community College
The timing on the training of trainers and course roll-out is still to be determined. But, happily, the development of the curriculum is well under way. We’ll keep you posted on our progress.
