Entry-Level Work

Solar helper, weatherization worker, warehouse support for clean-tech, recycling and composting staff in local programs.

Skilled Trades

Solar PV technician, wind turbine service technician, heat-pump installer, building energy auditor who checks where a home is losing energy.

Featured Issues

Clean Energy Access

Many low-income neighborhoods still have old buildings and high energy bills. Green jobs can help upgrade these homes and lower monthly costs.

Air Quality in Cities

Traffic and industry create pollution. Jobs in public transit, EV charging, and building efficiency can reduce smog and protect health.

Good Jobs for Everyone

With the right training and support, green jobs can give people stable work, benefits, and a chance to grow in their careers.
