Careers
In response to society’s rapidly increasing demand for renewable energy technologies and the need for a qualified workforce to implement these solutions, ReVision Energy launched the ReVision Energy Training Center (RETC) in 2018. RETC is an arm of our business that focuses on training and professional development.
RETC's purpose is to support the personal and professional development of ReVision Energy co-owners to build the resilient workforce needed to serve our shared mission. RETC focuses on four key internal and external areas:
- the development and delivery of registered apprenticeship programs;
- connecting co-owners with relevant continuing education;
- maintaining credentialing documentation for our employees;
- and collaborating with local organizations to build out pre-apprenticeship programs that accelerate the growth and accessibility of our states' clean energy workforce.
We're developing the talent we need from within.
RETC supports the workforce realities facing northern New England. Maine and New Hampshire are two of the oldest states in the country and are facing a critical shortage of skilled electricians as the region embraces ‘beneficial electrification‘ in the form of solar electricity combined with heat pumps, battery storage, and electric vehicle charging. Working in an industry with high market demand that lacks the benefits of a legacy workforce development infrastructure, ReVision Energy has invested in developing its own infrastructure to streamline professional development for new clean energy professionals.
State and federal regulations concerning the installation of solar electric systems and complementary technologies are becoming increasingly stringent. Our installation work needs to be done almost exclusively by licensed electricians with the help of registered apprentices in very specific supervisory ratios.
RETC was developed to resolve the acute shortage of licensed electricians in New England by providing a streamlined pathway to licensure for our employee-owners. Fostering employees’ personal and professional growth is also embedded in our core values. RETC is our most innovative expression of this value and plays a crucial role in equipping our team with the skills needed to achieve our long-term mission.
