Apply to Become an Employer Partner

Massachusetts-based employers and companies that are based in surrounding states but do work in Massachusetts are welcome to apply on the link above to participate in our mentorship program and to partner with us on placing out RFI, Modeler and Rater candidates for employment.

There are three possible levels of engagement for Employer Partners:

Level One: Job Shadowing

• Please consider providing opportunities for our RFI and Modeler students to get hands-on experience on job sites by allowing them to job-shadow one of your HERS Raters. 
• Our students can provide extra helping hands for your raters in the field while they are learning. 
• Rater requirements: NEHERS simply asks that raters conducting job shadowing are in good standing with RESNET.
• Paperwork requirements: We request that your rater fills out a very short google form to document each student's field time after each outing. 

Level Two: Mentored Ratings for RFIs

• Please consider providing opportunities for our RFI students to do one of their three mentored ratings with one of your HERS Raters. 
• Rater requirements: For mentored ratings, NEHERS requires a rater to be in good standing with RESNET and have completed at least 20 of their own ratings.
• Paperwork requirements: Complete RESNET required documentation including photos and cc NEHERS to retain for our records. 
• Paperwork requirements: Fill in a very short google form to document each student's field time.

Level Three: Job Placement

• Please consider hiring one of our RFI or Modeler students!
• Access to your Rating Provider will allow our students to complete the RESNET credentialing process and to obtain their RFIIN or HMIN number. 
• NEHERS provides "success coaching" for the students for at least 6 months to support each student's success in their new role and to help resolve any issues that may arise with the job placement.
• Paperwork requirements: Regular contact with the students "success coach" and updates for reporting metrics (new title, increased pay, etc…)

This mentorship program is a “work-in-progress” and you will also have the opportunity to collaborate with us on how to improve the program design for the future. Your input and feedback will be essential to the success of this program.
