Opportunities
In July 2009, Ohio Green Pathways was launched as a collaboration of the University System of Ohio and the Ohio Environmental Council. Ohio Green Pathways links education and training opportunities available in the University System of Ohio with jobs in green industries across our state.
The Ohio Green Pathways project works to develop the University System of Ohio's capacity to produce a green collar workforce by:
- Establishing Ohio as the number one green industry leader
- Expanding access to affordable education and defined career pathways for green industries
- Increasing the number of graduates and attracting more degree holders from out of state
- Building and marketing Ohio's green job pathways as an economic development tool to help businesses find quality employees and attract businesses to Ohio
Catalog
A key component of the Ohio Green Pathways project is the development of a program catalog and Web site that showcases all green programs in the University System of Ohio, and identifies and organizes current best practices in green education and training programs in Ohio and around the country. Potential students can use the catalog and Web site to find their own pathway to a new, green career.
