Green Career Pathways

The Green Career Pathways provides training for people experiencing barriers to employment to enter the growing green job sector--heat pump and solar installers, insulation technicians, reuse specialists, to name a few. The training is grounded in the the nationally-recognized Roots of Success curriculum. The collaborative program is unique as it brings together resources from a wide variety of organizations, from private employers to unions to public workforce development agencies to educational organizations, and provides paid training and a nurturing environment for this population. This project will:

  • provide employable job skills through paid training opportunities
  • improve essential work readiness skills based on assessment
  • increase permanent employment post-program
  • improve outreach to affected communities
  • reduce local barriers to opportunities for marginalized people
  • empower participants by helping them understand the root causes of environmental degradation and climate change and mounting inequality, and see the role they can play in addressing these challenges
  • create and train a Green Job Employer’s Council who are committed to creating work environments where trainees can contribute meaningfully and thrive

Next Training

A new round of training begins in April 2023. The training will last 12 weeks, and be downtown on the Ithaca Commons at TC3 Extension, room 610. A commitment of at least 8 hours a week is required. Stipends are available for eligible participants as well as additional paid on-the-job training opportunities with the Finger Lakes ReUse Centers.

APPLY HERE! Applications are due March 31st, 2023.
