Green-Collar Jobs in America’s Cities
“Green-Collar Jobs in America’s Cities,” a first-of-its-kind guidance manual, was months in the making and came at the request of a number of big city mayors.
It recommends a four-step strategy to recruit, train, and place thousands of workers in the new service, maintenance, installation, technical, and construction jobs that employers are seeking.
“Green-Collar Jobs in America’s Cities” also includes 14 case studies of successful green-collar job training and placement projects in 11 communities on both coasts, the Midwest, and the South. The 21-page report was prepared and published by The Apollo Alliance and Green For All, both based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C., and the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, a national policy group at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
