New Green Jobs Portal Launched
About once every few weeks, I field a call from a Boston resident interested in green jobs. The caller is typically a young person, interested in sustainability, or a seasoned member of the construction industry, looking to add a marketable new skillset or credential to their resume. Now, those callers have a new resource they can reference. The Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) and the New England Clean Energy Council in partnership with the MA Clean Energy Center have put together an excellent on-line green jobs portal which maps the wide range of regional green jobs workforce training programs, employer partners, as well as valuable information about industry credentials, and other resources.
