You’re a professional in the field of adult learning and workforce development. You know that green economy jobs have the potential to change your students’ lives—as well as the world we live in. But you may be wondering:
- How much is hype and how much is genuine potential?
- What can my students do to prepare for the opportunities?
- How can I easily integrate green jobs material into my existing programs?
- Are issues of global climate change even relevant to my students’ needs?
Alex Risley Schroeder launched Finding Earth Works when she saw the opportunity the emerging green economy provides for meaningful work at sustainable wages. Through workshops, strategic planning, and curriculum and program development, she will help you meet your adult learners’ training and education goals and engage them in the shared challenge of re-inventing the ways we live and work on the Earth.
