Green Jobs: What are they and how can we find them?

One of the buzz words, or phrase rather, these days in workforce development circles is "green jobs".  We all see our workplaces, restaurants, banks, and other establishments we frequent jumping on the bandwagon about greening our communities and our habits.  When it comes to greening in workforce, SLATE is interested in seeing how we can work with community organizations in providing training for green jobs in a variety of industries. We want people who have little or no experience to train for green jobs, as well as work with businesses who may want to provide incumbent worker training to help "green" their company’s products. To help better define what SLATE considers "green jobs", take a look
at the following links to see what others are doing.

If you are currently working with a business in green jobs, we encourage you to continue.  If not, we encourage you to make those partnerships now.  Good luck with your research, planning and potential partnerships in making your community a greener place to live, work and play.
