SUMMARY:NBI Next Gen Mentoring Program - Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:NBI Next Gen Mentoring Program – Application Deadline\nWhat is Next Gen?\nNext Gen is a professional development program offered by New Buildings Institute since 2021 to prepare students for careers in energy and green buildings\, with a particular focus on participants from communities historically underrepresented in the building industry. Next Gen fosters the next generation of diverse buildings industry leaders\, empowering them to use their perspectives and identities to make a difference. Over the course of the program\, students will work with each other as part of a cohort and benefit from resume building\, professional certifications\, interview practice\, one-on-one mentorship\, sponsored conference attendance\, networking\, and more.  \nSince its inception\, Next Gen has served over 110 students from 23 states\, Canada\, and England. Nearly 70% of the students identified as women or nonbinary and 70% identified as people of color.  \nApplications for the 2026 Next Gen Cohort are now open. Apply today! \nWith the support and generosity of our donors\, students can participate in this one-of-a-kind career preparation program without the burden of financial barriers. If you are interested in becoming a program mentor\, please fill out this form.  \nIf you are interested in supporting this program financially\, please contact Meghan Humphreys (meghan@newbuildings.org). Your support makes it possible for us to ensure this impactful program can continue to support students\, now and in the future. \n\nIndustry in Transition\nAlthough clean energy jobs are outpacing the rest of the economy in job growth\, women and communities of color remain underrepresented. The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) 2023 Built Environment Workforce Survey  found a lack of minority and female employees in the sector – only 18% of respondents identified as people of color and 31% as female.  The Next Gen program gives diverse future building sector leaders the knowledge\, resources\, and relationships to succeed as they begin their careers. By positioning participants to have a seat at the table\, Next Gen helps ensure ALL people can access and benefit from building efficiency and electrification measures. Next Gen alumni have gone on to engineering graduate degrees\, careers in construction and building design\, and more. We need a more diverse building workforce. Next Gen is part of the solution.  \n\nWhat Does the Program Look Like?\nThe Next Gen program year begins with orientation in March\, followed by the first group meeting in April\, and program activities through December.
