GED/High School Diploma

Having only a high school diploma or a GED can often make it hard to get a good job. So can poverty, abuse and incarceration.

Luckily, there are programs that can help people in these situations get a leg up. Some of these programs are called green-job training programs. They teach the entry-level jobs skills and the life skills you need to succeed in the growing green economy. These training programs can’t guarantee you a job. But many of them help their trainees find jobs, using placement programs and other follow-up services.
