Mentor Application | Energy Trust InsiderEnergy Trust Insider

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor! Peer Mentorship was developed to support Contractor Development Pathway (CDP) participants gain business and industry knowledge. CDP participants are new and emerging trade allies who will be paired with an established and experienced trade ally as their mentor. With curated mentoring, mentees can gain access to the resources and networks they need to expand their services in Energy Trust programs.

This form is for trade allies who are interested in mentoring participants of the 2025 CDP cohort. Responses will be used to match applicants with a mentee and will not be shared with mentees or anyone other than the program staff. This application is estimated to take about 6-8 minutes.
