Their goal is to create employment opportunities for low-wage and high-wage sectors in these areas.To achieve these goals, the NYS Department of Labor, in collaboration with the New York State Education Department, State University of New York and City University of New York, is immediately undertaking an inventory of existing workforce training programs and implementing recommendations to achieve the State’s clean energy goals. The priority clean energy sectors to be focused on are Solar Energy, which consists of Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal; Wind Energy for both on-shore and off-shore applications; and Renewable Fuels, which includes both bio fuels and improved energy efficiency (weatherization).In addition to the major job boards, some web sites that are becoming popular in searching for “green” careers are idealist.org, justmeans.com, stopdodo.com, greencareers.com (an offshoot of Monster.com), greendreamjobs.com and greenbiz.com.The main thing to do when pursuing a “green job” is to first determine what area of this broad category would be of most interest to you — such as Ecotourism, green building architecture, waste management, sustainable energy, or green sustainable agriculture.
