• Green Initiatives

Michigan defines green jobs as jobs directly involved in generating or supporting a firm's green-related products or services.  The state's green economy is defined as being comprised of industries that provide products or services in five areas:

1. Agriculture and natural resource conservation;
2. Clean transportation and fuels;
3. Increased energy efficiency;
4. Pollution prevention or environmental cleanup; and
5. Renewable energy production.

The Office of Career and Technical Education has developed this website to share current resources and partnerships to educate and prepare the future green workforce.
