“Most of the residential construction trades will be impacted. The skills of carpenters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC, brick masonry will all change in some way and how they interact and affect each other will need to be coordinated… Builders need to know green building practices in order to stay competitive. It’s about looking at what makes a house work more efficiently and applying new technologies.”
Fred Humphreys, NAHB/HBI
![Page 12: THE GREENING OF REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP: An Environmental Scan of the Impact of Green Jobs on Registered Apprenticeship and Implications for Workforce.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e055503460f94af1038/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
““While I can’t say that creating a new occupation won’t happen; due to licensing requirements, I really don’t see the electrical work being done as part of a new occupation. Therefore, there would be little impact to IEC member contractors other than an expansion of their workload to include the electrical and mechanical aspects of alternative energy installations. At the same time, training requirements for electricians will be expanded to include whatever new technologies are introduced.”

Green Already Has And Continues To Have A Significant, Positive And Evolving/Adapting Impact On These Key Industries And Their Related Occupations;
Green is rapidly changing existing industries & occupations.
Skill enhancements are currently being deployed to apprentices and journeyworkers alike.
Organizations are partnering with start-ups,
manufacturers, university R&D laboratories, business incubators, etc. to stay on the cutting edge.
Industries recognize that their involvement in “green” has created an opportunity to appeal to a new set of socially conscious workers – mainly youth.

Polices and Investments in green jobs should lead to long-term sustainable careers with emphasis on rebuilding America’s middle class
Ensure that opportunities have long-term career potential & pathways out of poverty.
Pathways must include training, education and
workplace opportunities beyond immediate needs & lead to life-long careers with competitive wages.
Stakeholders would like to see investments that focus on supporting sustainable careers (carpenter, electrician, etc.), rather than short-term skills (weatherization, wind generator technician).

Pre-apprenticeship programs and clearly defined occupational career ladders can provide pathways out of poverty and further engage traditionally hard-to-reach populations in the green-collar economy.
RA programs require applicants to have foundation-level skills
Pre-apprenticeship programs that directly connect to apprenticeship positions can provide gateways for hard- to-serve populations
multi-disciplinary pre-apprenticeship approach around green could have several benefits. exposing a worker to a variety of industries prior to long-term
commitment; addressing skills & materials that are specific to green; and further ensuring that pathways out of poverty are sustainable.
