NWP's contract with the Oglala Sioux Tribe- Renewable Energy
Development Authority developed a training program that
created a career ladder for Energy Auditors and
Weatherization Installers that is unique to Oglala and all of
Indian country. The plan meets all of the national
certifications standards required by the DOE Weatherization
Assistance program. Training to these levels ensures future
employment nationwide, not just projects on Tribal lands.
If your tribe was a recipient of the EECBG grant, and does not
have a plan to train tribal members or a plan to rollout the
installations, feel free to contact us for information.

We want to make the connection between the old ways and
the new. So, if you are a sundancer you can work with the sun,
if you carry or pour water you can have a job preserving it's

hotshot crew is the career for you...click on the source images
