Are you our new Energy Coach?
Do you ever wonder how much the gas price has risen in recent months? Do you know whether it’s wise to lower the heating at night or not? Or do you simply enjoy meeting new people and doing something useful in your free time? Due to the high energy prices, more and more people want to know how they can save energy and reduce their bills.
The municipalities of Duiven and Westervoort are looking for residents who would like to help others save energy. Could that be you? The energy coaches will visit residents at home by appointment and explain one-on-one how they can easily save energy by taking small energy-saving measures and doing things just a little differently.
Are you interested in becoming an energy coach? You don’t need to know anything about energy or saving energy yet. First, you’ll receive a free three-day training course:
- Wednesday 13 May from 13:00 – 17:00
- Wednesday 20 May from 14:00 – 18:00
- Wednesday 27 May from 14:00 – 18:00
After that, you can volunteer with a wealth of knowledge. The training is free! However, we do expect you to actually conduct energy-saving conversations.
It’s important that you enjoy talking to people and explaining things. The training is in Dutch, but if you speak a second language, that’s a big plus. You could then also conduct conversations in another language.
