Green Job Training A CLOSER LOOK

What Makes a Job Green? These actions contribute to a job’s green factor: Protection of eco-systems and biodiversity (conservation, preservation, and restoration) Reduction of energy, materials, and water consumption through high-efficiency strategies De-carbonization of the economy (moving away from fossil fuels) Minimization or avoidance of the generation of all forms of waste and pollution

Greening Training: Framework Industry experts (Subject matter experts, leaders in training, National Training Contractors) Industry safety guidelines (OSHA, EPA) National credentialing bodies Curricula developers National and local employers Job Corps instructors Expert Input in Green Training Goal: Prepare students for employment and credentials with the appropriate content and levels of training.
