Are You Ready?

Mood:

   Okay, the votes are counted, a new president has been elected, and the inauguration is over. Quite a party. So since we know that Green jobs are not just the future, but NOW - we’ve got some decisions to make and some new territory to cover.

   What are Green-Collar jobs? Good question. Green for All does a great job providing insight into what they are, who they are suited for, and how they positively impact our troubled world.

   Although there are plenty of Green jobs at present and more to be created, I believe that those having a background in Engineering would definitely be paid! I know the term by itself is vague, but that’s a good thing. There are so many different types of Engineers needed; so much expertise in these areas, I certainly encourage researching Green Engineering educational options. But don’t take my word for it - take a look at what’s surfacing so far. Green Biz.com has career positions listed in over 15 categories; some vacancies submitted by such well-known companies as Safeway and The Green Office. And don’t forget about such resources as Co-op America, Green Jobs, and Green Jobs Now.

For educational needs, pay a visit to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. They are doing their part to help us achieve a “just and sustainable society.” TONS of information there. Well worth the visit! The Society for College and University Planning also provides helpful resources for sustainability on their website.
The Go Green Initiative is geared toward a youthful audience and those who work with school-age children. They even offer a great Planning Guide as a FREE download!
Another great resource in environmental awareness? The Earth Day Network has info for all ages - and they even offer grant programs.
Earth First has an informative article titled, “Green Jobs 101: How to Snag Eco-Employment” on their website. They provide definitions, useful links, tips and advice on making ‘green’ while going ‘green’.
