In-house academic training for renewable energy professionals to earn electrical licensure in ME and NH

ReVision Energy is an employee-owned solar company on a mission to build a better, cleaner future and empower our communities to do the same. They take pride in having been mission-driven from the start. Their commitment to building a better world isn’t just good for business; it is their business. The company embodies their values in every interaction with customers, suppliers, the community, and of course with each other.

In alignment with their mission, the ReVision Energy Electrical Apprenticeship Program (REEAP) was created in 2018. REEAP is the first of its kind employer-based apprenticeship program in the nation to provide in-house academic training that is required for renewable energy professionals to earn electrical licensure in Maine and New Hampshire. As a Department of Labor (DOL) registered apprenticeship program, REEAP provides a hybrid education inclusive of on-the-job learning, online instruction, and in-person instruction in a manner that complements the professional and personal lives of their employees.

The program fosters a safe and constructive work environment where all employee-owners have an opportunity to do professional, meaningful work by utilizing different perspectives and rewarding people for their exemplary work. As a team, all are working to reduce fossil fuel dependence while alleviating the economic and social injustices amplified by the climate crisis.

ReVision Energy covers the cost of tuition, books, and training for REEAP for our employee-owners and provides the coursework to provide the installation team with the most integrated education possible while significantly streamlining the licensing process. As an in-house program, REEAP is designed to be the most worker-friendly registered apprenticeship program available by providing a better work/life balance than many conventional options. By combining online work with in-person training scheduled around work obligations, the training schedule complements the lives in and out of work for apprentices. This flexibility allowed the training program to continue coursework throughout the COVID pandemic.

Being certified as a B Corporation is a validation of those efforts and places ReVision Energy in a community of over 4,000 like-minded businesses worldwide who all agree that business is not just about profit but can and should be a source for positive social and environmental change in the world. They received recognition in 2019, 2021, and 2022 by B Labs as a “Best for the World” company, meaning we were in the Top 5% of B Corps scores worldwide, due to their worker-friendly policies, improvement during B Corp re-certification, and overall positive impact of their business model.

ReVision Energy is growing their team of motivated, highly skilled solar professionals and redefining what it means to be a business for good along the way.
