Train for Green Jobs at Wake Tech
What is a "Green Job"?
Wake Tech defines a Green Job the same way as the NC Sustainable Energy Association:
- A job that pays a livable wage, and
- A job that has a net positive impact (direct or indirect) on the environment.
Green Job Opportunities
The Green Movement is still in the forming stages, but is continually growing. Right now, Green Jobs will be included within Wake Tech's current training in traditional technology programs of plumbing, heating and cooling, construction, civil engineering, architecture, landscaping, environmental sciences, automotive, and heavy equipment technologies.
There are several ways to gain needed skills for Green Jobs at Wake Tech:
- Gain the skills for employment in a Green Job with a two year Associate of Applied Science degree, a one year technical diploma, or a technical certificate, or
- Earn a two year Associate of Science or Associate of Science in Pre-Engineering degree, then transfer to a four year college or university and earn a bachelor's degree in a Green Job related degree program
- Take Green Job Continuing Education (non-credit) courses to gain specific skills and certificates
Wake Technical Community College just announced two eight-week programs designed to prepare workers for jobs that focus on home energy efficiency and smart home technology.
The programs are free for unemployed and under-employed workers who qualify.
Unemployed and under-employed workers, including former tobacco farmers and other displaced agriculture workers, may qualify for free tuition by completing a Career Readiness assessment. For more information, visit http://greenjobs.waketech.edu.
