Cambridge launching green jobs program
The Boston Globe, March 10th, 2010
The City of Cambridge is launching a new green jobs program to train eligible residents to become energy efficiency technicians or green building maintenance technicians.
The program is part of a year-long effort by the Green Jobs Task Force, chaired by former Mayor E. Denise Simmons, and orientation sessions will begin next week.
Participants will study energy auditing, basic residential energy efficiency, and conservation practices, basic carpentry, plumbing and weatherization, as well as other skills.
