Many occupations use Job Task Analyses (JTAs) to define their profession.

Professional Testing, Inc. and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory invite you to participate in a nationwide research study, validating the practices, characteristics, and activities of the four multifamily building job categories listed below. This is your opportunity to directly contribute to the development of the multifamily home energy upgrade workforce.

If you are a practitioner in one or more of the four multifamily building job categories, please click on the corresponding link below to complete the relevant validation study. Your participation should take approximately 20-30 minutes and individuals may complete more than one validation study, if applicable.

This validation study is the next step in developing Job Task Analyses (JTAs), which will help define the duties, tasks and skills needed to perform each of the jobs listed below.

• Multifamily Energy Auditor
• Multifamily Retrofit Project Manager
• Multifamily Building Operator
• Multifamily Quality Control Inspector

Please note: The above studies should only be completed by professionals who have actual job experience or who have trained those performing the job, specifically for multifamily buildings.

Your participation is voluntary and individual responses will be kept confidential. Your responses will be combined with those from other respondents and used to improve the job descriptions for the multifamily building energy upgrade workforce.

The comment period will remain open until July 19, 2013. You may direct any questions to workforce.guidelines@nrel.gov.
