An Incubator for Home Performance Contractors

“Boosting Contractor Capacity to Meet Home Performance Demand” 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 Incubation Program. No matter your role or background in the industry, we’d love to have you join the conversation, but BPI, BPA, Habitat for Humanity, IREC…we need you to weigh in on this.

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

• State agencies
• 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. Simply put, there are not enough contractors available to complete the work.

In this webinar we will present a plan. Our panel brings expertise in designing and implementing programs with deep knowledge and experience in the workforce training and income-eligible energy efficiency 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.
