The Green Economy and Social Enterprises: How to Get Involved

This final session will focus on Green Business/Clean Tech as a start-up idea. This session will present an overview of Green Economy jobs and provide resources for entrepreneurs who not only want to be sustainable with an existing business but who are interested in starting a venture that will help drive innovation for the planet. Innovators across the country are demonstrating this by creating apps to reduce food waste, circular economyloop solutions, forming produce and renewable energy cooperatives, creating nonprofit social enterprises, and engaging in a range of other innovative, eco-focused activities. With a whole new Green Economy, how do you get involved? What kind of training do you need in today’s economy to get ahead? What jobs or start-up opportunities are out there?

Content

  • Understanding the Green Economy and the opportunity it presents
  • A look at the skills, training and/or certifications needed to be competitive

About the Program

Sustainability@Work is a series of workshops designed for start-ups and small businesses interested in learning more about how to become more sustainable and why it is not only important, but profitable. Each workshop will cover an important aspect of becoming a sustainable business.

The workshops are designed as stand-alone sessions and attendees may choose to attend one or all of them depending on their particular challenge or interest. The program is also designed to work as a cohesive series so a participant attending all sessions will be well prepared to create a comprehensive sustainability plan or work towards one of many certifications in the industry upon completion.

Attendees who are interested in pursuing a certification or getting a more formal assessment are eligible to apply for a free one-on-one consultation.

THIS PROGRAM IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY GOVERNMENT
