May 31, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Wondering how you can cash in on the 'green job' revolution?

A good part of the stimulus dollars will be spent to train and certify individuals to conduct energy audits for both home and commercial properties. I have found information where you can order information to become certified to conduct these audits for a job, share the info for those interested or get trained, certified and go into business yourself.

President Obama Challenges All Americans to Obtain the Skills and Education Needed to Succeed in Today’s Economy

President Obama Challenges All Americans to Obtain the Skills and Education Needed to Succeed in Today's Economy!

Obama lists Registered Apprenticeship as a critical education and training option

In recent remarks regarding the efforts underway through the Recovery Act to help stimulate the economy, President Obama again stressed the need for all Americans to seek additional education and/or training for 21 st Century careers. 

“Right now, someone who doesn't have a college degree is more than twice as likely to be unemployed as someone who does,” said Obama. “And so many of the Americans who have lost their jobs can't find new ones because they simply don't have the skills and the training they need for the jobs they want. In a 21st century economy, where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, education is the single best bet we can make, not just for our individual success, but for the success of the nation as a whole.” 

During the remarks the President again highlighted Registered Apprenticeship as a critical education and training option: 

“And to that end, I have asked once again every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. It can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship.” 

The president also announced the launch of Opportunity.gov, a joint Department of Labor and Department of Education Web site, aimed at helping unemployed workers find out more on the training programs and financial support available to them through Recovery Act and other efforts aimed at assisting dislocated workers.
