Green jobs are real–and they’re coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Can you lend a hand?

On the first of May, 300 young adults and blue-collar workers will start training through the Greater Washington Green Jobs Corps. Soon they’ll be ready to weatherize homes and workplaces, install solar panels, and perform energy audits–and save millions in energy costs in the DC area.

Project sponsor Green DMV is seeking partnerships with contractors and suppliers who can hire these trainees. If that’s you–or someone you know–contact Green DMV.
