The Veterans Green Jobs Academy


Looking for a new job? You may want to check out The Veterans Green Jobs Academy. The Academy provides individualized mentoring, support and attention aimed at helping you maximize your potential, not only during the program, but throughout your career. In order to provide the best career development for veterans, the academy has different types of training - - from 2 months to a full academic year program, as well as residential and nonresidential programs. The Academy also provides intensive education, training and career development services for vets interested in careers in the green industries.

The first Home Energy Auditor Training (HEAT) will begin this spring, and more programs will start later this year in the summer and fall.

Training programs will be based in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Washington in 2009.

Eight to ten states are expected to open their own programs in 2010 and possibly more in the coming year. They are also partnering with a non-residential program where focusing on outdoor conservation and restoration is already transforming both people's lives and land.
