Jumpstarting the New Green Economy

Green Jobseekers and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Networking Fair

At a time of mounting job losses and financial uncertainty, more and more New Jerseyans are looking to shift their careers into the new “green collar” economy. Job seekers and entrepreneurs will have a chance to learn about many of the sustainable initiatives that are emerging throughout the State – and network with leaders of these businesses – at New Jersey’s first Green Jobseekers Networking and Entrepreneurial Opportunities Fair, Thursday, May 21 from 6-8 p.m. at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s College at Florham, 285 Madison Avenue, Madison, N.J.

The event is free and open to the public.

Engineering firms, contracting companies, renewable energy companies, government agencies, major non-profits, and recruiters have been invited to exchange ideas with talented, energetic and committed individuals who are looking for work and new opportunities.

“The goal of the green jobs networking session is to inspire people to shape and participate in new ventures and partnerships that are driving the new green economy,” according to Conference chair Jonathan Cloud, director of the Sustainable Business Incubator. “It’s a resource for anyone seeking to develop projects, discuss solutions and launch new initiatives.”

In addition to green jobs networking, several company representatives will be in attendance that are looking to fill positions in the immediate future. Come prepared!
