An energy efficient economy requires the presence of well-trained energy managers and service professionals. In turn, energy professionals require access to affordable, convenient, well-regarded training programs, However, in the Northwest, as in most other parts of the country, there has been a lack of such programs. The Northwest Energy Education Institute, with seed money from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, proposes to close this gap, not only for the period of Alliance support, but on a self-sustaining basis.
