Envirolution | Win-Win Campaign Program*NYSERDA Approved Training*
Are you looking for a job in the energy efficiency field but are having a hard time finding the jobs, accessing the market and/or getting any response from employers? Or maybe you're getting some interviews but you keep hearing that you need more industry specific technical training and/or hands-on experience?! Or perhaps you're currently employed and are looking to transition to a more fulfilling career that allows you to make a living AND a positive impact? If any of these are true for you, then this program is specifically designed to assist YOU.
Organizational Overview:
Envirolution is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering the leaders that will drive the transition to a truly just and sustainable economy. We achieve this by providing a unique blend of service-based sustainability education, leadership development and career advancement services.
Program Overview:
Envirolution's Win-Win Campaign is an energy efficiency technical training and internship program, combined with an energy efficiency outreach, education and implementation assistance initiative for small businesses. The program is implemented on a part-time basis, during off-work hours (i.e. nights & weekends) and is comprised of two interwoven components: the in-class training component (60 hours) and the in-the-field internship component (60 hours). After successful completion of the program, we also provide paid internship opportunities, job placement assistance and additional professional certification (i.e. BPI, LEED) test-prep training.
Program Process:
This 8-week program begins with a 30-hour bootcamp which takes place over two consecutive weekends. The bootcamp serves as a crash-course into energy efficiency principles, auditing practices, energy conservation measures (ECMs), the retrofit implementation process and the NYC economic incentives landscape to prepare the participants to go out into the field. In order to complete bootcamp and proceed to the internship portion of the program, participants must pass a written and a field test.
Once the bootcamp is complete, interns are broken up into teams, paired with professional mentors and are assigned to work with one of our contractor partners. Interns are then responsible for reaching out to the small businesses in a target neighborhood to educate them on the many energy efficiency solutions and incentives available to them. Each intern is required to: (1) reach out and educate at least fifty businesses; and (2) to assist at least twelve businesses. Assisting a business entails providing them with a free energy audit, qualifying them for eligible incentive, and connecting them with the appropriate agencies, contractors and/or vendors to facilitate the implementation of energy efficiency upgrades.
Through this innovative hybrid training program that combines classroom training, mentoring and fieldwork, participating interns gain invaluable real-world, hands-on experience and concrete energy auditing and project management skills that are applicable across a wide spectrum of career opportunities in the emerging green economy.

Even with our partners' and supporters' help, it still costs us about $1250 per participant to put on this extensive program. However, we recognize that many people that can most benefit from this program might not be able to afford that, which is why we have established merit and need based financial assistance as well as payment plan options.
