    Leading Green Job Search Engine Launches Directory of Green Education and Training Programs

    PRWeb – Tue, Jul 26, 2011

    Searching for a green job is easy; The Green Job Bank has over 10,000 current listings. Getting hired is much harder because training and certifications are often required. Where do you find these programs?

    Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) July 26, 2011

    The Green Job Bank announced today it is launching a new Green Education resource to help job seekers find Green Education, Green Training, and Green Certification programs. The Green economy is the fastest growing segment of the American economy, and a knowledgeable and trained workforce is critical to sustain its growth, end the recession, and keep America competitive.

    The resource is a database of programs offering training and certification in many green categories such as solar systems installation, wind systems installation, LEED certification, energy auditing, sustainability management, and higher education programs such as popular green MBA’s.

    “Job seekers changing careers and looking for employment in the Green industry need an online resource where they can find easily the green training programs that are necessary to get their dream green job” said Bernard Ferret, founder of The Green Job Bank. “With thousands of programs and organizations offering green training, it is difficult for unemployed workers and job seekers to find the program they need.”

    The Green Job Bank is quickly adding green education and training programs to its database, and is calling on green education and training organizations to come to its website and register their programs at no charge.

      I have seen some of the green jobs on workforce.org. But how do you find the training? I happen to know several people who diligently lok for work and put in applications. But as your article said if you are not employed or never have been employed pretty much don't bother. What kind of message is this sending to the young adults who need to break in to the job market? Most employers now want some sort of degree plus experience. How do you gain experience if can't get a job? I check the job market every day and I do see quite a few jobs that people I know are capable of doing and they may not have the exact experience but the skills that they do have are similar yet no one wants to hire them. There has got to be a solution to this problem. If any one out there has a thought please send your commnts on this article I for one would be intrested to see what they are.
