Greener Skills: How Credentials Create Value in the Clean Energy Economy
Greener Skills: How Credentials Create Value in the Clean Energy Economy

The Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) is pleased to announce the release of Greener Skills: How Credentials Create Value in the Clean Energy Economy.

Greener Skills, a follow up to COWS’Greener Pathways, proposes a national skills agenda and a better, stronger, greener workforce system to support it.

In addition, the report assesses the state of "green" training, offers a normative argument for doing better and provides specific policy suggestions for federal, state and system stakeholders.

Next month, COWS and the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) will gather experts and policy-makers to discuss the paper — and the future of post-secondary credentialing — at a roundtable in Washington, DC.
