Green Jobs Community of Practice released

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has launched the Green Jobs Community of Practice (CoP). This on-line virtual community is available through ETA's knowledge sharing and learning platform -- Workforce3One.org. The Green Jobs CoP will serve three primary purposes:

* Provide a platform for workforce professionals and green job thought leaders to discuss and share promising practices to create partnerships for Green Job Workforce Solutions and leverage Recovery Act investments. The Green Jobs CoP is unique in that it will provide an interactive platform and information that is explicitly targeted to workforce professionals, particularly those at the State and Workforce Investment Board levels, and their role in building a green economy.

* Serve as the primary platform for providing technical assistance in the form of Webinars, discussion boards and other on-line resources to green jobs grantees, including the recipients of upcoming SGAs.

* Create a central communications platform for all other federal agency workforce professionals who focus on green jobs and the workforce system's role in transforming the US economy.
