How do I start a green collar jobs training program?
We get this question all the time and for good reason. The development of the green economy has never been more important, and now there are significant government funds to support green job training. We are working right now on creating a special “toolkit” for those wishing to develop new green-collar job training programs. The toolkit will feature best practices and good examples of green-collar job training in California; the essential elements of a green-collar job training program; resources related to curriculum development; and much more. We are creating it especially for officials in local governments and workforce development and education providers, but we also intend it to be accessible and useful for a much wider range of people. We expect to have the toolkit available by the end of 2009 at the very latest. In the meantime, if you have an urgent question related to starting a training program and need assistance now, contact Green-Collar Jobs Campaign Bay Area Organizer Emi
