Philadelphia Green Jobs Corps case study
SBN is designing a city-wide green jobs apprenticeship program. The Philadelphia Green Jobs Corps will aim to match basic skills training with employers' needs and strive to ultimately connect local green employers to the region's workforce. The Green Economy Task Force is an alliance of 100 businesses, environmental groups, government, academic institutions, workforce development providers, and unions and is advising the development of the Green Job Corps. SBN is also convening a green employer roundtable to match the design of the training program to the skills employers are looking for.
