We have a unique opportunity to clean up the air in our towns and cities and create economic opportunities 💵. These are good-paying jobs that stay in the community, need to be done by humans, and can’t be outsourced to other countries 🌎! #cleanenergy#environmentaljustice (7/7)
@tryemerald developed a better technician sourcing and assessment process that pre-vets candidates so companies can spend less time and money interviewing candidates ✅. #edtech#hrtech (6/7)
They are willing to hire and train intro-level heat pump installers who demonstrate key mechanical and behavioral skills ✍️. It is not required that they graduate from a community college/technical school or have extensive trades experience. #futureofwork#EnergyTransition (5/7)
Heat pumps are simpler to install and maintain than gas furnaces. New employees don’t need years of HVAC experience to install one 👩🔧. Companies like RYCOR HVAC and @elephant_energy do significant on the job training. #workforcedevelopment#hvac (4/7)
We'd love to get more companies to sign onto this, so sign on here https://t.co/XxCQvyzugx! Let's take some direct action against catastrophic heat waves, wildfires, and flooding 🔥🌊! #climateemergency#decarbonization#electrification (3/7)
It will be difficult to meet our decarbonization goals without more technicians 🛠️. To try to bridge this gap, we wrote an open letter from HVAC contractors and home electrification co's to show their commitment to hiring and training diverse installers #ClimateCrisis (2/7)
At @tryemerald we are working to solve the critical shortage of clean energy installers, starting with heat pumps ⚡️. HVAC contractors are desperate for installers but there aren't enough training programs devoted to heat pumps. #heatpumps#climateTech#electrician (1/7)
@toddsaunders@ycombinator@FlatironSchool We are piloting with RYCOR HVAC to help them find entry-level heat pump installers first using a better assessment process. Then we'll build training that accelerates OTJ training. Happy to speak more about the thinking here #workforce#EnergyTransition
@EggersMatt We are piloting with RYCOR HVAC to help them find entry-level heat pump installers using a better assessment process. It tests for key mechanical and behavioral skills to reduce churn in hiring. We need better pathways into these installer roles. #workforce#EnergyTransition
@TryEmerald recently visited a new geothermal heat pump installation in Westchester County, NY with @DandelionEnergy. Dandelion Energy has designed and installed more home geothermal systems than any other contractor in New York State. #heatpumps#geothermal
In an effort to solve the challenges, Emerald will assess technicians more holistically and use social media in novel ways to build hype and help people access fulfilling clean energy careers. #cleanenergy#renewableenergy
Nearly every climate tech conference I've been to in the past couple weeks has touched on the need to transition energy workers for clean energy. But I've noticed that nearly every time workforce development comes up, the discussion shifts into generalities (1/4)
🟢 @TryEmerald is solving the critical shortage of clean energy technicians by sourcing, assessing, and training/upskilling them using better technology.
