Workforce Education & Training
Supporting local career opportunities through no-cost workforce and education programs.
We ensure the Inland Empire is aware of emerging technologies and changing production processes related to energy efficiency and advanced energy skill sets.
We need a skilled workforce in the communities we serve. But there’s a gap for job seekers who don’t have the necessary training to take advantage of opportunities in the clean energy economy.
I-REN brings comprehensive, equitable, and targeted training to people of the Inland Empire so they can pursue careers and contract opportunities in energy efficiency.
Our no-cost, short- and mid-term support for training and education to the regional workforce helps bring about energy efficiency and savings goals for the residential and commercial markets.
