Green Collar Association Deploys Workforce Initiative

Green Collar Association Sets Out the GREEN WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS INITIATIVE

    WASHINGTON, DC November 17, 2009 /Employment - Careers PR News/ -- Environmental industry group, Green Collar Association, announces its "Green Workforce Preparedness Initiative" to strengthen North America's position in the global green economy.

The Green Workforce Preparedness Initiative proposes that government provide targeted financial and regulatory incentives to corporations, labor unions, and non profits that invest in training and educating their skilled workers and professionals to equip them with the skills and tools to address the requirements of a green economy.

The Green Workforce Preparedness Initiative will result in:
• MORE JOBS: Creation and retention of jobs, for professionals as well as skilled workers, in the US and Canada that would otherwise be shipped overseas

• COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: A higher skilled and more capable workforce that will spur new ideas and innovations, allowing our corporations to be the leaders in the new economy

• CLEANER ENVIRONMENT: Those working in the green economy become better stewards of their own environment

• IMPROVED STANDARD OF LIVING: Great opportunity for working poor to learn new skills and in doing so elevate themselves and improve their standards of living
