Credentialing
As part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, EnergySec is developing competency-based credentials related to our CIP education program. Participation in a Credential Pathway is currently complimentary for any interested student, subject to participation requirements. For more information, contact us at workforce@energysec.org.

Certificates of completion will be provided after the class as documentation for Continuing Professional Education credit.
