Tour: Resources to Explore Green Industries
To land a job in the green economy, you must understand your target green industry to determine exactly how to highlight your skills, knowledge and experience during your job search. Depending on the industry you choose to target, you may find an abundance of information that's difficult to sort through or a dearth of information that makes it hard to find what you need to know. We've been studying the green economy since March 2007, building industry profiles throughout that period of time. These profiles provide you with an overview of over 50 industries and sectors each with a collection of valuable links and resources you can use to build your understanding of your target industry.
