Free Webinar: Green Jobs

Everybody’s talking about green jobs. But how do you get your people there? What are the potential green jobs in your region? What skills will those jobs require? Do the training and education providers in your region have the relevant programs to meet employer needs? And how do you train dislocated workers in your area to do those jobs?

This webinar will cover ongoing work with the City of San Antonio to plan and implement a green initiative that is focused on creating jobs.
