Job Training in the Green Impact Zone
The Green Impact Zone project will include an employment and training program coordinated both with zone activities and business interests outside of the zone.
Green Impact Zone partners will identify zone residents who need assistance in entering the job market or need to upgrade their position in the market, connect these individuals with programs and opportunities to gain or improve their employment skills, and then connect these individuals to jobs that pay a living wage and offer a career path to long-term employment.
For example, plans call for hiring and training people who live in the zone to work on weatherization of homes as part of the energy efficiency strategy.
