I read about new alternative fuel sources being made in South Carolina, but never see any job postings... I would like to see more opportunites in the southeast of the country. Thanks for creating this group!; ▶ Reply to This

How can I acquire marketable education? Is there a group that looks for high creative ability first, past and current work experience second?; ▶ Reply to This

This is a very good point. We are already working on this. The new site has an entire section on green education and info on how to transition to a green job. Stay tune.; ▶ Reply to This

I have the same question as JasonL but my area is in Connecticut. For people like me who have been in many different fields, how can those skills transition to a Green Job. Thank you for creating this. :); ▶ Reply to This

Following the last few comments, we will start working on Connecticut and South Carolina to ultimately cover all states. This discussion is really to locate the needs to apply resources.; ▶ Reply to This

I doubt that I've had much work experience that could transfer to a green job. So starting at a lower level and working up in an actual green industry... That would appear to be the best/most practical way to gain experience, I suppose.; ▶ Reply to This

To answer your question: some private companies and government entities will offer entry level positions, internships and on the job training positions. There is a section in the future site dedicated to these offers. You are not alone. To make you smile, I am attaching 2 resumes I just got from applicants for on the job training opportunities. They never held such job positions before, but I am convinced one of them will manage to get the job advertised. You will too. The Green Industry is new. There will be a lot of entry-level positions coming up. Believe me and stay tuned.
