In-class Program

Delivered in a classroom setting, with a field trip, practical hands on training and self evaluation exercises, REpower Ontario utilizes the expertise of those working in energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation to guide participants into a viable green career.

The dynamic of the in-class sessions allows for a one on one approach to career counselling and an enhanced learning experience through the enriching backgrounds and experiences of fellow participants.

On-line Program

A modularized program offered on-line that provides the theory and basic practices covered in the classroom version.

Join us and experience our live virtual classroom environment with robust features including real time audio, multi-point video, instant chat / messaging, interactive whiteboard, breakout rooms for group discussions / coursework, and an archiving feature that allows for review of session recording content. Facilitators and participants can engage as if they are meeting face-to-face, with as good as, or even better, outcomes!

The on-line program is securely hosted by WIMBA Classroom, a 21st century web conferencing platform. This facilitated and interactive program expands access to the learning to those who otherwise would not be able to attend the in-class program.

This program is delivered in two bi-weekly sessions with independent, and group homework assignments.
