Most green jobs are hidden.  Only 20% of these jobs can be found on job boards.  Job seekers are having a difficult time finding opportunities.  Likewise, companies are  unable to find qualified candidates. 

Green Career Pathways is building the bridge between qualified candidates and employers.  Submit your best resume on the Candidate page if you are interested in becoming part of this green talent pipeline! 

  




Green Career Pathways, founded by Debra Horen of 
Next Path, started as a community service to connect people interested in pursuing green careers with local San Diego cleantech resources. The purpose:  to grow San Diego's green workforce and economy. Our early focus has been on helping job seekers gain the necessary training and experiences to become qualified for the emerging green sector.

In keeping with our mission to help job seekers accelerate their green careers, we are now working with recruiters, as well as employers, to connect qualified job candidates to clean and green jobs.

Sustainability in Business Today

The Green Talent Pipeline

While much of the U.S. economy continues to struggle, many companies involved in solar, wind, biofuels, energy efficiency, green building, and other sustainable efforts are well positioned for growth.  Venture capital, business, and government investments are fueling cleantech expansion at a higher rate than most other sectors.  Whether you are new to the job market or looking to transition to a career that is more aligned with your personal values, the opportunities are here.

As with any pervasive emerging technology, we are building the road we are driving on.  The personal computer was a disruptive technology that transformed the way we do business, shop, read, have conversations, and live. Likewise, innovations in clean technology will change and create sectors and jobs we have yet to imagine.

What are the green jobs  and how can you find them?  What qualifications do you need to start or transition to a green career?  Where can you get the training and the experience you need?  You can find answers to many of these questions on this site.  

This is still a tough economy.   Due to climate change and the disruptive danger we have created… and now face …we have a great opportunity.  We are finally on our way to building a greener, more equitable, and a better world.  Welcome to the ground floor!
