Green Collar Association
Green Collar's mission is to advance the socially responsible economy and promote green collar jobs by aligning the interests of companies, educational institutions, and members of the workforce - including professionals and skilled workers.
We believe that an issue of such critical importance to our economic growth, national security, and environmental health will require a collaborative approach that engages the best and brightest ideas, people, and resources from each sector.
Thus, Green Collar Association is focused on:
• Building Bridges: Helping companies, educational institutions and groups representing the workforce better understand each other's needs and challenges to reduce costly missteps and errors
• Cross Pollination: Establishing a clearinghouse for exchanging best practices, tools, and ideas within and among all three groups
• Creating a Fair Playing Ground: Providing public policy support and guidance on the Federal levels on issues affecting the green economy and particularly stimulating green collar jobs that will allow our members to compete with those in other countries
• Developing Next Generation Leadership: Offering the most comprehensive listing of educational and job opportunities in the socially responsible economy
• Stimulating Profitability: Helping companies and educational institutions to benefit financially from a green, socially responsible economy through access to new customers and new ideas
