Workforce Programming at MAXT

2025 Programs: Focus on Building Energy Efficiency

Starting in January 2025, MAXT will host a series of workforce programs aimed at providing individuals with a pathway to gain skills and certifications in energy efficiency. Delivered by experienced industry professionals and Lakes Region Community College instructors, these programs provide the basics necessary to get started in a career or for professionals to add to their credentials.

Thanks to the US Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), we are offering tuition assistance to those who can demonstrate they intend to use the skills gained as part of a career in the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire.

The programs are available to those outside the Monadnock Region for a fee.

Unless otherwise noted, all programs will be hosted at MAXT’s new location at Noone Falls, 50 Jaffrey Rd. in Peterborough, NH.
