Green Collar Job Opportunities |
Green Collar Jobs are jobs that involve operating, designing,
manufacturing and installing renewable energy and efficiency technologies.
Any organization that sets out to improve the environment is a Green
Organization, and the jobs created by this Green Organization are called
Green Collar Jobs. Green-collar jobs are held by individuals who work to
bring about an improvement to our environment.
Some of the typical Green
Collar Industries include:
- Waste / Recycling
- Renewable Energy
- Water Conservation
- Solar Energy
- Sustainability
- Research and Development
How to become a Green Collar Worker:
Any one can become a green collar worker. As more and more people are
experiencing the harmful effects of Climate Change through Global Warming,
more and more professionals are using their talents to work for
organizations that can directly or indirectly improve the environment.
Existing professionals in the construction, finance, marketing and many
other sectors, can bring about changes by working in a more environmentally
friendly manner. Other Green Collar Workers choose to use their existing
skills gained through industry, to work for Green Collar Organizations. As
Green Collar Workers are in demand, and often attract top professionals,
salary increases are often on offer. For many others it is the intrinsic
rewards and job satisfaction of making a positive change to the world, that
is reward enough.
Along with individuals who have grown tired of their existing careers, Green
Collar training initiatives are also available for school leavers, the
unemployed and new entrants into the work force. Initiatives are aimed at
employers, unions, community colleges and high schools to prepare and engage
the next generation of workers.
Green Collar Careers:
As more and more states are implementing policies designed to help the
environment, positions in this area are expected to grow above the average
rate. This is also due to the increase in environmental awareness among
consumers. Congress is currently looking to grant millions of dollars to
states that exhibit good Green training programs. Organizations that promote
use of renewable energy and energy efficiency will be given preference for
these grants. The Green Collar Sector is currently the 5th largest sector in
the US economy, with almost 9 million Green Collar jobs. This is expected to
grow to 40 million Green Collar Jobs by the year 2030.
