Labor Department Announces $190 Million For Green Jobs

Today the Department of Labor announced that $190 million in grants for green jobs training will be distributed to organizations in 34 states. These grants are a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The purpose of these funds is to train workers for jobs in energy efficiency and the renewable energy sector. The rewards range from $2 million to $6 million and will target under served communities. These communities include veterans, at risk youth, underemployed individuals, people with disabilities, and those with a criminal record. California and Nevada, two states hit hardest by high unemployment rates, each received $6 million in grants.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

We have more jobs than any other job board.
We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
