Empowering the Next Generation of Clean Energy Professionals


At EnerCity Collaborative (ECC), we are dedicated to equipping energy efficiency professionals, contractors, and aspiring workers with the skills needed to thrive in the growing clean energy sector. Our comprehensive training programs provide hands-on instruction in building science, green construction, and energy efficiency, ensuring that participants are prepared to take advantage of the expanding opportunities and funding in the residential clean energy space.

A core focus of our work is supporting minority contractors and individuals from BIPOC communities — particularly Black students and trainees — by creating accessible pathways into green construction careers. Through targeted workforce development, mentorship, and industry connections, ECC helps bridge the gap between clean energy initiatives and the professionals who will drive them forward.

Whether you’re an experienced contractor looking to expand your expertise, a workforce development trainee seeking industry certifications, or a student exploring career opportunities in sustainability, ECC’s training programs provide the tools, knowledge, and support needed to succeed.

Our Training Focus Areas Include:

  • Building Science & Energy Auditing

    Understanding home performance, diagnostics, and efficiency upgrades.

  • Green Construction Pathways

    Training students and emerging professionals in sustainable building practices.

  • Contractor & Workforce Development

    Supporting minority contractors and new trainees in gaining technical skills, certifications, and business growth opportunities.

  • Train the Trainer

    ECC is training the next wave of technical trainers and building an instructor team that mirrors the communities we serve.
