Are you a contractor performing residential or commercial building retrofits like installing insulation, HVAC/refrigeration systems, water heating systems or other energy efficient upgrades? Energy Trust is now accepting applications for the 2026 cohort of the Contractor Development Pathway.
Energy Trust is proud to offer the Contractor Development Pathway (CDP), which is a no cost opportunity designed to help contractors grow in energy efficiency expertise while increasing participation in Energy Trust’s Existing Buildings and Home Retrofit programs. Business owners enrolled in the CDP will have access to:
- Educational workshops
- Networking opportunities
- Peer mentorship
- Business consulting
We’re seeking Oregon contractors to enroll in the 2026 cohort. Minority-, women-, and veteran-owned contractors in rural Oregon are encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in learning more or participating in the Contractor Development Pathway, register to attend an informational session or apply today at insider.energytrust.org/CDP. Selection of participants for the 2026 cohort will begin November 30, 2025. Apply now to secure your space in the next cohort.
