FALL 2025 Mentorship Program At NO COST to you, the Northeast HERS Alliance is pleased to be accepting applications for our Fall 2025 Mentorship Program. Applicants must be residents of Massachusetts. Individuals from under-represented demographics in the HERS Industry are encouraged to apply. Additional eligibility criteria can be found here. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the fall class is full: Anticipated Timeline for the Fall RFI and HERS Modeler Program: First-Round Interviews will be starting the week of June 23rd. Second-Round Interviews will be starting the week of July 21st. Classes Start Monday, August 25th for both RFIs and Modelers (concurrently). The NEHERS Mentorship Program offers a structured framework for individuals interested in becoming Rating Field Inspectors (RFIs), HERS Modelers and HERS Raters to receive hands-on training, mentorship, and job placement support as an apprenticeship-style pathway into the HERS Rating Industry. A Rating Field Inspector (RFI) gathers data in the field by conducting on-site inspections and running diagnostic tests on buildings. A HERS Modeler takes the data gathered in the field and puts it into specialized software to create an energy model of the building. Candidates that apply will participate in a comprehensive intake and needs assessment process. If selected, candidates will be paired with an employer near their location for field work. They will also be paired with a peer mentor and will meet regularly with our staff for ongoing success coaching. Additional information about the program can be found on our Mentorship FAQ.
