Different kind of job guide

Most green employment reports focus on high level statistics, overall trends and general job types.

Our Green Jobs Guidebook is an inspiring, user-friendly handbook aimed at all job seekers regardless of their current skillset.

Many green careers are available to applicants with less formal education and less traditional job experience.

These careers present major opportunities for individuals who face traditional barriers to employment and are real pathways out of poverty.
