Business File: Green Jobs Pipeline for Women project launches

— The Alliance for Sustain­able Colorado this month has launched its “Green Jobs Pipeline for Women,” a project through the Women’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor that will promote the education, training and placement of women throughout the state into the energy efficiency and renewable energy jobs market, according to a news release.

The alliance said women seeking work in the growing energy efficiency and renewable energy industries face challenges including wage disparities and historic biases against women in the industries.

The project’s mission is to increase the number of Colorado women in green jobs.



Project Manager Kit Williams said the mission would be accomplished by expanding awareness of resources and employment opportunities, building a statewide network of organizations committed to such job promotion and starting an outreach program.
