As part of the No Worker Left Behind law [PDF], Michigan has created a Green Jobs Initiative which provides statewide, regional and local resources and training opportunities in alternative energy, green building and construction and retrofitting, and sustainable business practices.

If you’re unemployed or looking to re-educate and change careers, you can identify training opportunities for green jobs by county or region.

If you have a business, the No Worker Left Behind program will assist you in moving into green industries — by providing consulting and employee training resources to facilitate the development of employee skills and expertise for green jobs within your company. Here’s a resource page containing links to several local and regional green initiatives. There’s a mailing list to receive information about green jobs in Michigan here.
