From
the manufacturing of solar panels and wind turbines, to updating commercial
buildings and the weatherization of homes, to the production of cleaner, safer
chemicals, the green economy is emerging in cities and towns across the
country. This year, the Good Jobs, Green Jobs Regional Conferences will be heading
to Detroit to bring the discussion of good jobs and a clean economy to our
area.
The Detroit Regional Workforce Fund is a proud supporter of the Midwest Conference. This is a chance for all of us to
meet with community leaders, union members, environmentalists, business leaders
and elected officials together to discuss how our region of the U.S. is, city
by city and block by block, building the foundation for a green economy.
The
Conference will feature high-level keynote speakers, dynamic plenaries, and
workshops at each of the four Regional Conferences, emphasizing local initiatives creating good jobs and a clean
environment in a number of emerging clean tech sectors. Some of these areas
include: clean energy manufacturing; green infrastructure and transportation;
state and local initiatives; emerging green sectors like recycling, chemicals,
water and agriculture; renewable energy and energy efficiency; and business,
investments and new markets.
