Green Jobs Workforce, Let's Get Ready

Many questions have been raised, rightfully so, regarding the workforce required to support the current and future Green movement.
Energy ETC is moving "full steam ahead" to make sure we are ready. We have partnered with NECA and the IBEW to take advantage of the excellent training programs offered to their membership. We are ready to put these trained professionals to work, giving them "real life" situations to solidify their classroom learning experiences.
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) reported in April 2009 that one of the key barriers to the success of meeting energy efficiency targets in buildings will be "Shortages of skilled workers could limit the capacity to carry out widescale retrofitting, especially integrating the different aspects of energy efficient renovation."
Energy ETC is committed to training, inspiring, and employing a workforce of skilled workers to help California continue to be a leader in the Green Movement.
