Purpose – Gather baseline and follow-up green jobs data for private entities, and baseline green job data for public entities Partnership – US DOL Labor Market Improvement and NM Department of Workforce Solutions NO NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED DEFINTION OF A GREEN JOB Self identify – a green job produces/supplies those green goods or services
Results – 6% of total private sector NM workforce, with the highest percentage in the energy efficiency core area, specifically construction Majority of green jobs are in the central region of NM A little over 50% of green jobs in NM are in the energy efficiency core area Clean manufacturing core area is strong in the southwestern region of NM Research, development, and administration core area is strong in the central region of NM Renewable energy core area jobs are strong in the northern and eastern regions of NM Energy Efficiency core are jobs are strong across the state Four occupations with the largest percentage of green jobs – engineering, construction, manufacturing and maintenance, and management and supportAvailable to a broad range of workers, with opportunities for career advancementTend to pay higher, average green job is $22.05/hr, non-green job is $18.93/hrGreen jobs are projected to grow faster than non-green jobs NAICS – North American Industry Classification System
Groupings – small city, large city, state, federal, tribal governments, school districts Largest respondent was school districtsZero response rate for trial governments Largest core area is energy efficiency, with renewable energy in second Respondents indicated using a combination of both formal and informal training for green-related job training 52% of respondents felt green efforts would remain the same for them in the future, while 42% felt they would increase 82% of respondents felt there would be no labor shortages. Those who did feel there would be a shortage indicated low enrollments in education/graining programs as the number one reason
Purpose – bring together educational institutions, government, employers, and workforce development personnel to discuss green job workforce development in NM Identify strengths and weaknesses Project future needs and growth opportunities Determine action steps Outcomes – green job opportunities are going to increase Regional educational institutions are responsive to job growth Regardless of the training program, potential employees need a strong understanding of basic reading, writing, and math skills and soft skills such as customer service and basic life skills
