Project EFFECT (Energy for the Future: Education, Conservation, Training) was a three-year experimental program in curriculum development focusing on energy conservation, technology, and training. It had three objectives: (1) create a comprehensive training program for adults without previous technical training, applicable to community energy conservation needs; (2) define the new occupational role of and provide training to the Energy Extension Agent; and (3) heighten community awareness of energy conservation. Advisory committees participated directly in curriculum development and in identifying and developing the employment market. Instructors from a wide variety of fields developed nineteen modules in four basic areas of classroom-based instruction: general background, technical training, energy audits preparation, and community education (see Note). A procedural guidebook for conducting energy use surveys was prepared. With the help of three CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) agencies, twenty-four trainees were recruited for a pilot training course including six months of classroom-based instruction and a two-month practicum. Ten of sixteen course-completers were employed in positions directly related to their training in energy technology.
