Home » Market Sector Partnership » Green Sector Westchester and Putnam Counties include an emergent green economy spanning many industries and adding a significant number of local jobs. Essential to the region’s economic vitality, the green sector includes local providers of traditional green products and services as well as those companies—in any industry—that are actively implementing sustainability measures and require a green workforce. The Westchester-Putnam One Stop Employment Center, in partnership with Robison Oil, Inc. and the Westchester Green Business Challenge, is leading the sector partnership. The work of the partners is to engage with employers in the region in order to identify the workforce gaps and needs that exist to determine the education and training programs that will meet the needs of employers. Employers who participate in the partnership will be able to: Access the business services provided by the Westchester/Putnam One Stop Centers Search a resumes database to find qualified job candidates Post job openings Receive announcements for new funding sources Keep informed about upcoming green training opportunities
Sector partnership activities to date include: Sales Training: Two separate programs were offered, one by Pace University and one by Westchester Community College. These programs targeted building contractors performing home energy audits. Nine companies participated with 24 employees being trained. Summer Internship Program: The Westchester-Putnam Workforce Investment Board (WPWIB), in partnership with The WorkPlace, Inc. in Fairfield, CT, offered a summer internship/fellowship program that placed individuals pursuing green careers with employers. Home Energy Assessment Program: Provides free home energy assessment to Westchester home owners.
