CAEL / Our Services / Growing Green Jobs

Identify and Prioritize the Job Clusters
Green jobs can be anything from retrofitting homes to manufacturing wind turbines. CAEL can help you identify the right green jobs and career paths for your region.

Include and Engage Employers
CAEL’s expertise in working with and engaging employers can make your initiative industry-driven. And the success of your program relies on the employers.

Know the Job Requirements
The devil is in the details. CAEL identifies and documents education and experience requirements and salary ranges for various categories of jobs. We’ll also create employment growth projections in green disciplines.

Expand Education & Training Options
Know what’s out there – and then make it work for you. CAEL will conduct an inventory of education and training in the region. Then we’ll work with educators to create or augment green training programs.

Benchmark Against Other Programs
CAEL can help you find the best practices and incorporate them into your initiative.

Seek the Funding to Make It Happen
CAEL will review funding sources to locate the ones appropriate to your initiative. We’ll also develop a template funding proposal to use for requests to government, philanthropic or corporate funders. With so much focus on green jobs at the federal and state level, there are numerous funding sources that can be tapped.
