In partnership with The Compliance Mentor Group, NESEA was awarded a grant to run a year-long career exploratory program bringing students from Boston-area voc/tech schools together with professionals in the high performance building industry.

The program, titled BEST (Building Energy Scholars Team), ran during the 2022-2023 school year. The goal was to expose students to the work and world of the high performance building industry and to the possible career paths available to them while fostering connections to people already in the workforce.
