Ishkoday is partnering with the Home Inspectors Group to get Energy Advisors trained in First Nations. This is a fast growing field in high-demand, and we want to see First Nations consumers trying to access energy efficiency programs have access to Advisors to qualify for programs that require the audits. Advisors do vital work for their nation, specifically around auditing home energy needs.
Trainees will become Registered Energy Advisors and can be contracted to work throughout Ontario! 6 Spots will be sponsored, there is room for 5 additional students who would cover their own costs. If sponsored students fail to meet the program requirements, there could be room to become a sponsored student.
