The Alliance for Affordable Energy has teamed up with the LA GreenCorps to offer a Workforce Training Program in weatherization and energy efficiency. This program is designed to teach team members the following skills:
- How to effectively seal all cracks and air leaks in a home and view homes as air flow and thermal envelopes
- Make changes to the home to affect energy efficiency
- Proper installation of radiant barrier in attics
- How to choose and install the best insulation for a building or space
This 4 month program is a paid job, and offers a continuing education award of $1250 upon completion. More importantly, because energy efficiency saves homeowners and renters money every month, there is a growing demand for tradespeople who can make energy efficiency improvements.
LA GreenCorps is currently seeking applicants who have an active interest in the building or rebuilding trades. Applicants must be between the ages of 18-24, and have limited work experience to apply.
If you are looking for a career in the building industry and need more experience, this may be the perfect opportunity for you. Contact Rick Yelton, LA GreenCorps Field Supervisor, for more information or to apply: (630) 217-4606.
