"Green" careers refers to a wide variety of opportunities mostly in renewable energy and energy efficiency sytstems. These
type of careers include installing solar panels, wind turbines and rainwater collection systems. Others may be straw bale
construction, fighting forest fires, or working in environmental cleanup. Many Blue or White collar careers have the potential
to transition into Green industries with little change in the skill sets. Some careers are on-the-job trainings followed by a
certification process. Others require 2-4 year degrees or apprenticeship programs.
