Growing Industry

The purpose of Wilson Community College's Green Workforce Training programs are to provide opportunities for individuals to rebuild career "ladders" by learning new methods and how to use new materials with their existing skills. A green workforce-training program not only has the ability to create good quality jobs with higher wages, but also more jobs overall, distributed broadly across the economy. The goal is for this program to bring more people into secure and sustainable jobs over time. Like the green economy, training and job opportunities are continuously emerging.
