Green, Green-Collar, Sustainable Energy Jobs
Are you interested in a green job? So-called green jobs are expected to grow
dramatically over the next decade through a combination of public and private
initiatives to increase the energy efficiencies of vehicles and buildings,
expand the production of renewable and alternative energies (such as solar, wind,
hydro, and biofuels), fortify sensitive environmental lands, create better transit systems,
strengthen recycling and waste management programs, and develop corporate sustainability strategies.
Not currently working in a green job? No worries. Green jobs are available
in the entire job spectrum. A large portion of emerging green jobs can be currently found
in the traditional employment sectors of manufacturing, installation, fabrication, and operations --
as well as in the sciences, business, IT, education, and construction.
Even better news is that it is fairly easy transitioning from a non-green industry to a green one,
with most job-seekers having the ability of leveraging existing skills while gaining additional
on-the-job training. (You may still need additional education, training, or certifications to
make the transition easier, faster.)
