Editor's Notes
A recent article in the Globe (April 22 “Students seek more fulfilling jobs in green field”)reiterates the growing interest and opportunity arising out of green industry jobs, particularly among youth:“Our surveys find that young people are seeking out specialized green education programs because they want to make the world a better place,” Mr. Trump says.And it helps that the training can lead to solid employment. Its study found that the number of Canadians who work as environmental specialists has risen close to 700,000 today from about 250,000 10 years ago, and that about 2.2 million Canadian workers perform environmental activities for at least part of their time on the job.As well, our Consultations with Green Industry experts indicate new opportunities will continue to emerge beyondthe original talent pool of engineers, architects and interior designers. As a result, green industry awareness, education, and training programs are targeting a wide range of employment sectors, starting with real estate, skilled trades and construction management.As we will discuss shortly, our report published in 2011, Tending Green Shoots, identifies over 300 green skills building programsin the Greater Toronto Area. These programs range from advanced skills training offered by variouscolleges to training in sustainable living and green stewardship offered by non-profit organizations. This will become increasingly important as numerous opportunities to develop “green” skills will expand with support of the City of Toronto’sinvestments in the green economy through such programs as Tower Renewal, Live Green, EnergyRetrofit Assistance Program and Partners in Project Green.
