Webinar: Preparing the Solar Industry Workforce

I am the Community Ombudsman with the State of Delaware, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). I became acquainted with NEDLC (Tse Ming Tam, Susan Wong) through my work with Delaware County Legal Assistance Delaware County Sectoral Employment Initiative. I am interested in pursuing EPA funding to support the development of a collaborative partnershipamong state agencies (Labor, Development office, DNREC), labor unions (Laborers local 199, Steelworkers, etc) and community based organizations. Our DNREC Secretary is interested in pursuing a sectoral analysis of "green jobs" industries to identify those industries with the greatest potential to produce long term living-wage jobs for low-moderate income workers. The project would support a worforce development that would target industries and train workers for green industry employment opportunities. I am registering with the hope that the Webinar is still available for me to share it with potential partners to show them an example of what could be achieved by implementing a sector employment approach
