Dear Friends,
Over the past two years, Greater Boston organizations have competed for and been awarded significant energy efficiency training dollars, particularly for skills training in weatherization auditing and installation. Yet, other green sector jobs, in areas such as clean and waste water management, recycling, deconstruction, and even back office support of energy efficiency field work, have received less attention and been less defined.
In order to uncover and support employment and training opportunities in these other green industries, SkillWorks' Green Collar Career Pathways Initiative is pleased to announce the release of our Call for Green Sector Concept Papers.
We are looking for new or existing workforce partnerships and/or research projects in particular green industries for potential SkillWorks' funding.
Eligible Green Industries are:
- Water Management
- Waste Management
- Recycling
- Deconstruction
- Energy Efficiency Admin Support
Click here for full Call for Green Sector Concept Papers
(Call will also available on our website and on our blog)
Concept papers will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis, anytime from July 22, 2010 through August 31, 2010.
In order to ensure a wide distribution, please feel free to forward to your networks.
Sincerely,
Patricia Maguire
Program Associate
