The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) has recently announced the creation and opening of it’s green jobs training centers across the county.

IBEW Green Training Facilities Open Its Doors to Congress

If you are currently seeking an opportunity with a green focus, training programs like what the IBEW is facilitating might be worth exploring. I recently attended a San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce Economic Stimulus Meeting on how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (recover.gov)will have an impact and will stimulate the growth of green jobs in San Diego. The programs being developed by the IBEW are really top-notch. Keep your eyes open. There will be opportunities emerging in the green industry.

Training and education programs will have the greatest visibility and the IBEW Local 569 in San Diego training program to turn Electrical Workers green is a showcase of what is to come. Solar Installers and a host of other green occupations  are going to be growing in demand and training programs like this will help fill that demand.

So, if you have not consider a green job as part of your job search you might want to look into it. One organization in San Diego that can help you with information is the the California Center for Sustainable Energy. They are a great local resource for everything green.
