The Importance of Communication and Soft Skills in Weatherization

In the world of weatherization, technical skills get the job done—but it’s communication that keeps jobs on track, clients satisfied, and crews working efficiently. Across the WAP network, strong soft skills aren’t just nice-to-have; they’re essential to running programs that are consistent, respected, and successful. Whether it’s an Energy Auditor setting expectations or a Crew Leader managing tensions in the field, clear and respectful communication can make all the difference. When clients feel heard and crews feel supported, the entire program runs smoother.

Field teams are the face of the program. They’re the ones stepping into homes, explaining complex scopes of work, and building trust with clients who may be unfamiliar—or even uneasy—with the process. In those moments, the ability to communicate clearly, respectfully, and with confidence isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. It shapes how clients perceive the program, how smoothly the work goes, and how likely the team is to get it right the first time.

Skills like active listening, de-escalation, and professional email etiquette might seem secondary to technical training—but in practice, they’re often the difference between a job that runs smoothly and one that falls apart. Soft skills help crews avoid misunderstandings, keep tensions low, and build trust—not just with clients, but with each other. They’re the quiet force behind higher job completion rates, better morale, and more efficient, collaborative field teams.

In a role where trust is built one conversation at a time, strong communication is essential.

Building a Skilled Weatherization Workforce in North Carolina

A Growing Industry with a Shrinking Workforce

As North Carolina ramps up clean energy and weatherization efforts under the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) — bolstered by federal investments such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — a major challenge has emerged: a shortage of skilled, job-ready workers.

This shortage is especially pronounced among individuals from low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDAC), who face barriers accessing the clean energy workforce. Without a pipeline of trained workers, the state’s ambitious sustainability goals are at risk.

North Carolina has expressed its intent to double or even triple the number of homes weatherized in the coming years, a goal that will require a significantly expanded and qualified workforce. Yet subgrantee organizations consistently report challenges in recruiting, training, and retaining enough contractors and technicians to keep pace with demand. The need for scalable, accessible, and accredited training is increasingly important.

A Pre-Apprenticeship Program Designed for Job Growth and Impact

To help meet the rising demand for skilled workers in clean energy and weatherization, Everblue, in partnership with Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont, launched a practical, industry-certified Energy Efficiency Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

The program supports economic development and energy affordability by:

Reaching individuals from low-income backgrounds and creating clear pathways into stable, skilled trades.
Combining online instruction with hands-on, instructor-led training, giving participants real-world experience in energy efficiency.
Offering critical support such as transportation and childcare allowing more people to participate and succeed.
Building both technical expertise and job readiness skills, preparing graduates for long-term careers that support clean energy and energy-saving efforts across North Carolina.

This initiative is helping to create jobs, grow the local workforce, and build a foundation for future energy independence.

The program’s first cohort recently celebrated a major milestone with the successful completion of training, paving the way for career advancement and continued education.

Career Readiness and Community Empowerment

Over several weeks, participants balanced family life, jobs, and coursework to gain certifications in Building Science Principles, Weatherization 101, and environmental safety topics like asbestos and lead. Hands-on field training allowed them to apply concepts in real-world scenarios, building confidence and job-readiness.

Key Outcomes:

80% of graduates expressed strong intent to pursue careers in weatherization.
Participants are offered multiple post-training pathways: HVAC, Electrical, and Carpentry.
Local contractors are exploring opportunities to hire graduates.
Positive participant feedback highlights the program’s supportive structure and transformative impact.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Looking Ahead

This successful first cohort is only the beginning. With strong outcomes and community-driven feedback, Everblue and Goodwill are focused on expanding the program to reach more individuals and create a skilled clean energy workforce across North Carolina. The long-term goal is to support energy affordability, stimulate job growth, and strengthen the state’s clean energy economy.

“Together, we’re taking the next step toward a brighter, more sustainable future,” said Laura Smailes, Program Coordinator at Everblue. “We’re excited to build on this momentum.”

Everblue Celebrates 10 Years as an IREC-Accredited Training Provider

Everblue, a veteran-owned workforce development and training provider, is proud to announce the celebration of 10 years of accreditation by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), recognizing a decade of excellence in clean energy education.

“Being IREC Accredited for a decade is more than just a milestone—it’s a testament to our commitment to providing training that actually moves the needle,” said Chris Boggiano, president of Everblue. “We’ve worked hard to build programs that empower people, strengthen communities and meet the highest standards in the industry.”

IREC Accreditation is awarded to training providers, instructors, and master trainers that meet rigorous, third-party standards for curriculum design, student engagement, instructor qualifications and program outcomes. It ensures that training is relevant, responsive and rooted in defined job roles within the clean energy and energy efficiency industries.

Over the past 10 years, Everblue’s IREC Accreditation has enabled successful partnerships with local and state governments, nonprofit agencies and contractors working to meet the rising demand for skilled clean energy workers, especially in low-income communities.

“IREC accreditation sets a national training standard for the clean energy sector, ensuring consistency and validating high-quality programs,” said Matthew Harris, Director, Workforce Training and Engagement at IREC. “Training providers undergo a rigorous review, including self-assessment, documentation, and on-site evaluations, to meet IREC’s standards. For over a decade, Everblue has demonstrated a commitment to delivering comprehensive, consistent, high-quality training nationwide. As the clean energy industry grows, employers can confidently hire skilled professionals from IREC-accredited programs.”

With historic federal investments being deployed through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), organizations like Everblue play a crucial role in developing a workforce ready to support the clean energy transition.

“While this 10-year IREC Accreditation anniversary is a major milestone, we see it as just the beginning,” said Boggiano. “We’re committed to expanding access to quality training, building new partnerships and helping even more individuals and communities thrive in the clean energy economy.”
