Mission
Kuha' ahat Ta'sha (Hello Friend),

Our primary goal is to educate the community on "Green Collar" careers in renewable energy, to develop an American Indian &
Veteran workforce for renewable industries, and to provide that workforce with consistent follow-up support.

We are excited at the possibilities of the Native community being in the forefront of these new jobs. Besides the obvious direct
contribution we will be making to save our sacred sources, it gives us a chance learn a trade that provides advancement and an
opportunity for business development.

Although NWP is doing the actual work to organize this effort, we cannot do it without the support of our community. To us, this is
more like a nationwide community effort. We have a strong Board of Directors and advisory committee, and a great plan for
education and recruitment for these career pathways. We have excellent alliances nationwide with Tribes, federal entities, private
industry and other community resources.

Pre-qualification tests are available to apply for jobs or sign up for trainings. After the training is completed, Tribal members or
veterans can match up with an employer or be listed on our certified workforce list at no charge. Our goal is to stay in contact
throughout this process to provide support before, during and after certification. Certified technicians, past or present, can be added
to the workforce list.

We also have links to the best job sites in the renewable industries. Additionally, we post and circulate these and other job listings
through our e-newsletter. We have links to tribal job listings and other Native job boards so we can provide a comprehensive
assortment of opportunities nationwide.

We welcome feedback and ideas from the community and encourage community participation in our efforts. If your community
organization wants to host a "Green Collar Career Day", we will be happy to make a full presentation and will work with you to
organize and promote the event.

We have many innovative ideas and announcements soon to come. Please keep in mind we are in a constant state of growth and
construction, so pardon our dust!

Hawwih (Thank you)
