Career management authority Larry Keim’s research shows that the energy efficiency job market is estimated to grow by fourfold in the next decade, to 1.3 million people. Educational institutions are starting programs to train the managers who will oversee the technologies that will be used to conserve energy and help safeguard natural resources.
Larry Keim of Harlingen, Texas said that green jobs have been on the rise over the past two years. While there is much debate over the need for green jobs, and the cost effectiveness of many green initiatives, it’s a field in which some companies, and most certainly the government has begun to invest heavily.
The New York Times recently reported that the federal government is pouring $500 million into training for green jobs.
The demand for its managerial graduates prompted Lane Community College to accelerate its two-year program, with help from federal money. They are beginning a program that allows students to earn their energy management degrees. Tuition is subsidized as part of the federal stimulus funds, including a $2,500 tuition tax credit. Last year the college was awarded a grant for $890,000 from the federal government.
Keim’s research is supported by a WENY TV report that the clean energy industry alone is currently a $970 billion industry in the U. S. employing 8.5 million people; and that number may quadruple by the year 2030.
Larry Keim is a recognized career management authority and has been a guest lecturer at the College of New Jersey. He has also been a featured speaker for the New York Times “Networking Nights” presentations to career professionals and co-hosted a special one-day career marketing seminar to displaced workers who became unemployed as a result of the 911 tragedy in New York City.
Larry Keim is a resident of South Texas and provides career services and mentoring to several career management firms throughout the U. S.
