Free Training and Job Placement Assistance in Green Jobs

The Veterans' Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) grant, called The Green TEAM (Training and Employment Access for MA) Veterans initiative will assist all eligible Massachusetts veterans residing in the I-495/Boston Metro area, especially those recently discharged, disabled veterans, and those most in need, in accessing information leading to green training, certification and licensure, and employment opportunities. Green training and green jobs are a priority; however, traditional training and career paths are also included within the VWIP program opportunities.

Information on:

• training and education in green career fields
• job search assistance in green career fields
• employment opportunities in green career fields
• credentialing/licensure opportunities in green career fields

These jobs could include:

Energy Auditors, Green Construction, Weatherization, Efficiency Upgrades, Hazardous Materials Removal, Produce and Install-Solar, Wind Generators, Conservation Systems, Supportive Services, and others.

This program is administered through Veterans Northeast Outreach Center (10 Reed Street, Haverhill, MA 01830).
