Training and Technical Assistance Approach and Activities Sample Clauses

Training and Technical Assistance Approach and Activities. In RI, training and technical assistance activities are directed at assessing and improving the overall delivery of weatherization services to income eligible households. Maximizing energy savings, minimizing production costs, improving program management, improving the technical skills of all weatherization workers (auditors and contractors), ensuring health and safety of weatherization workers and clients, and reducing the potential for waste, fraud and abuse are the overall goals of a comprehensive T&TA program. In 2021, RI plans to use the majority of its T&TA allocation to support the hiring of a "Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator". DHS plans to contract with CLEAResult, the lead vendor for RI's Income Eligible Services (IES) program, on this new initiative. The T&TA Coordinator will collaborate with DHS program and technical staff to create a customized training plan for RI WAP. The training will include a virtual component for classroom requirements. The plan will include, at a minimum, the following list of required trainings and any others as identified by DHS. l Energy Auditor Certification Training (BPI) l EPA Certified Renovator Training l Quality Control Inspector (QCI) Training (BPI) l Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) Refresher Training l Health and Safety training to include ASHRAE 62.2 2016, l Personal Protection Equipment and other health and safety trainings as identified by DHS l HEAT Training ­ New Users and Refresher Training The T&TA Coordinator will develop a system for tracking training effectiveness and will report monthly progress. Upon completion of the full plan the provider will deliver a comprehensive assessment report that details the overall impact of the WAP training for the State of RI. The report will include both qualitative and quantitative data reflective of improvements in network capacity and knowledge in each identified training area.

Training and Technical Assistance Approach and Activities. Recent advances in the field of building science underscore the need to upgrade the skills and equipment of the WAP Agency staff. Significant energy conservation opportunities exist which can only be addressed through instrumented building inspection techniques using furnace efficiency testing equipment, infiltration measurement devices, and under certain circumstances, infrared scanning equipment. Opportunities also exist to streamline and systematize weatherization program management functions through the introduction of computerized systems and electronic data transfer. Staff turnover and the occasional appointment of new WAP Agencies also dictate that a core curriculum be developed to orient newcomers to the basics of the weatherization program; its goals, methods, and philosophy, as well as the practical job skills required every day. The management of the weatherization program at the local level requires expertise in a wide array of areas including construction management, fiscal policy, client education, staff motivation, energy transfer theory, materials science, installation techniques, and related issues. In addition, WAP Agencies must operate their programs in accordance with a variety of governmental regulations and policies. New Jersey has determined through experience that regularly scheduled meetings of DCA staff, and the staff of the WAP Agencies, are essential to the optimum performance of the weatherization program. The dissemination of written information between these meetings reinforces their applicability to the program. The OLIEC proposes to continue its efforts in increasing the productivity, quality and scope of the weatherization program by offering workshops, and seminars targeting a wide range of subject areas. Training is mandatory for sub grantees unless a sub grantee can provide proof that training proposed has been undertaken prior to.
