Green Collar Jobs

Since 2005, IERE has been working on green collar jobs and green construction. Why? Because a sustainable future requires the work of skilled labor. Here is some of the work we have done:

We worked with South Seattle Community College, designing their Clean Technology Program.

We worked with Seattle Parks, developing their green building maintenance program, which has grown into the WEB (Water, Energy and Biology) program applied throughout the parks department.

And we worked with the labor unions, helping to develop  a blueprint for green collar jobs.

IERE continues to work with community colleges, the City of Seattle and the trades to make sure that green collar jobs make real environmental change while providing family wage jobs.
