About this challenge

New industries need new workers. As the economy shifts toward clean energy, restoration, and sustainability, whole new kinds of work are appearing.

This challenge asks you to imagine a business that creates green jobs in your town.

The green transition isn't just about technology: it's about people trained to install, build, repair, grow, and manage the new economy.

Towns that train their people for green work attract the industries that need them.
