Strategies for Including People with Disabilities in the Green Jobs Talent Pipeline: Roundtable Proceedings

摘要

On December 16, 2009, the NTAR Leadership Center in partnership with ODEP sponsored Strategies for Including People with Disabilities in the Green Jobs Talent Pipeline. The roundtable brought together thought leaders and entrepreneurial problem solvers to develop recommendations to ensure people with disabilities are included in the emerging energy efficiency and renewable energy workforce talent pipelines. An impressive cross-section of more than 50 individuals participated, including experts in workforce development, education, green jobs, disability employment, sector strategies, and economic development, as well as representatives from labor unions, the employer community, advocates for people with disabilities and other populations such as veterans and ex-offenders, as well as local, state, and federal policymakers.
