Operational Definitions Green Firm Green Job A Green Firm is an organization that provides products and/or services that are aimed at utilizing resources more efficiently, providing renewable sources of energy, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, or otherwise minimizing environmental impact. A Green Job is an occupation that 1) directly works with policies, information, materials, and/or technologies that contribute to minimizing environmental impact, and 2) requires specialized knowledge, skills, training, or experience in these areas.

3 Types of Green Jobs Required Green Skill Some jobs Require an additional Green Skill necessary for continued employment within a traditional occupation. May require a revision of existing curriculum. Green Skill Upgrade New Green Job Receiving an additional, but not critical, Green Skill Upgrade makes traditional workers more marketable. Consider new certificates or fee-based training. New skills transition a worker into a completely New Green Job with a new title. New programs need to be developed for these emerging jobs.
