Registration for AVs and Designees for the 2025-26 Mentorship Program Fall Cohort opened today, September 2, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. CPT at the Mentorship Program page and will close on September 12, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. CPT. The Mentorship Program provides mentees with virtual courses and training covering Program processes and requirements and facilitates opportunities to network with other market stakeholders. Mentees are expected to attend each of the eight 75-minute virtual trainings to be held on Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. CPT between October 1 and November 19, 2025, as well as an in-person networking event to be hosted on November 20, 2025. AVs and Designees certified as Equity Eligible Contractors (EECs) and/or are minority-owned, woman-owned, veteran-owned, disability-owned, or are considered small businesses are encouraged to register as mentees.
The Mentorship Program will also solicit applications from experienced AVs and Designees willing to share insights into Program and solar industry-related topics with mentees as mentors. Mentors are expected to attend 75-minute virtual trainings during the Fall Cohort (between October 1 and November 19, 2025) and Winter Cohort (between January 12 and March 4, 2026,) in which they will participate in two assigned trainings per cohort to share insights into solar industry topics with mentees. Mentors will receive invitations to attend in-person networking events in November 2025 and March 2026 where they will have the opportunity to connect with mentees, fellow mentors, Program Administration staff, and other market stakeholders.
Please note that space is limited and both mentors and mentees will be selected on a first-come first-served basis.
