What are Green Collar Jobs?
Fire ~ Water ~ Wind ~ Sun ~ Earth ~ Thunder...Things that we hold Sacred
"Green Collar" jobs are technical jobs in the renewable energy industries. These type of jobs
include installing solar panels or rainwater collection systems, straw bale construction, fighting
forest fires, or working in environmental cleanup and wind power. Many are on-the-job trainings
followed by a certification process.
The shift from dirty energy sources (like oil and coal) to cleaner energy sources (like solar and
wind) will produce hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
While we do not discourage college education, we realize it is not the only pathway to making a
good living. Green collar job certifications are designed to provide trainees with practical skills that
can be used either to get a job or start a business.
Our goal is to provide you with user friendly links and information, so you can educate yourself in
the field of your choice, and to provide the follow-up needed to assist you in your success.
Our bi-monthly e-newsletter is free and includes announcements for new jobs, training, and news.
Our primary focus is to provide an information hub for Native people to learn about green collar
job training in the renewable industries, to follow up the training with jobs, and to help companies
hire Native people.
Our specialty is providing presentations to the community on Green Collar Career Pathways.
