Start in Green Careers

 

The use of providing alternative energy sources and Green products by developing and developed countries is on the rise. Do you know of somebody that might be interested?

The seal of approval and support to generate growth in the use and provision of alternative energy sources and products in the Green industry is steadily rising. Each day there are more businesses providing opportunities to enter this industry with and without a degree.

Green supporters, activists, charities and non-profit organizations are no longer considered quacks or nuisances but looked upon for consulting, modeling and guidance in providing direction, to clean up; not just our Planet but for the business image as more people have demanded and criticized current practices.

A growing web presence is readily clear and many supporters of the Green industry can be found from tiny web stores to industry giants. Careers are being created and grown and the hunt for skilled talent is also growing and struggling to find workers.

The top Green industry sectors are as follows ;

– Solar thermal and photovoltaics
– Biofuels
– Fuel cells

The top job areas in the Green industry are as follows ;

– Electricians
– Mechanical/Civil Engineers
– Welders
– Metal workers
– Construction managers
– Accountants
– Analysts
– Environmental science
– Chemists
– Energy Auditors
– Wind Turbine machinists
– Recycling technicians
– Water consultants


 

A majority of these top jobs can be found in many current industries and could be considered ‘recycling’ existing skills. These opportunities also provide for a easy career move to many upcoming graduates in college, university or those currently employed.

A few simple methods to find employment opportunities can easily be done as follows ;

Google Alerts, set it for job offers in Green industry careers.
Linked In, recruiters are posting.
Twitter, search, follow and tweet your availability.
College, get job offer postings.
Employment centers, provide training and job listings.
Internet, a growing list of Green Job boards.
Dept. Natural resources, have fact sheets of available opportunities.

Networking with people in the Green industry can help boost and foster relationships to join or refer others for and/or in need of employment. It is a expected growth industry and currently in the workforce ‘s favor due to the imbalance of supply meeting demand. Only time will tell if all the current hooplala will be a reality. For now, we can at least feel a new found and tentative sense of energy, in Green Energy.

The stimulus package has provided the means for many businesses to open for operations and will and do, employ people with business related skills. Manufacturing of products will require the technically skilled and the general assembly of the products will require trained laborers. Opportunities are available for many people of varied skills.

My small contribution to the green movement is that I use my electric vehicle over the petrol car whenever possible. And if there is a choice between solar powered and any other powered item, i go with the former.

Hi RD, It's great that you support the use of electric cars. Same here and think I have quite a lot of savings as far as actual gas consumption. Awesome in the cities too. :) thanks for visiting and sharing your comments.

It's good to know the movement is becoming such a part of the buisness industry instead of being all about the grassroots organizations!

I've just been shopping for web hosting and noticed green hosting has become a recent trend and marketing angle for a few hosts; good to see.
