Members of Chattanooga’s minority contractor community are invited to participate in Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) EnergyRight Residential Services Minority Contractor Training Program. The program, offered in partnership with Tennessee Urban League Affiliates (TULA), was created in 2019 to train interested minority contractors on improving home energy efficiency while expanding TVA's Quality Contractor Network (QCN).
TVA developed the EnergyRight Residential Services Program to certify contractors to weatherize homes across its seven-state service area (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia). TVA has developed the QCN as part of the EnergyRight Solutions program. QCN members have the skills and the knowledge to help customers identify upgrades and/or systems, install them properly, service any equipment down the road and coordinate financing through local power companies.
Contractors who own their companies are invited to participate in CO.STARTERS, a training program that concentrates on improving the skills necessary to manage a successful business. Areas of emphasis include financial management, marketing, sales, customer service, communication and negotiation, delegation and time management, problem solving and networking.
In partnership with CLEAResult, a leader in transforming energy challenges into efficiency solutions, TULA provides QCN Certification Training, which is targeted to contractors who have completed business skills training and are ready for the process of obtaining certification on the ten services outlined in the EnergyRight Residential Services program. QCN members are required to provide services according to TVA EnergyRight Residential Services guidelines.
Contractors who complete the program have the skills, mindset and knowledge to identify necessary energy upgrades and service equipment, which will ultimately reduce homeowners’ total energy expenditures while improving their health and safety. Through the EnergyRight Residential Services program, homeowners can connect with these trained QCN members to complete home energy upgrades and receive more efficiency recommendations.
Additional training programs are available throughout the year for interested minority contractors. To learn more about the program and upcoming training opportunities, please contact Robin Sturnes at rsturnes@ulchatt.net.
