Teleconference

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau is pleased to host a series of teleconferences for workforce practitioners, designed to offer information and an exchange of ideas to better connect women with green jobs and green jobs training. This area of workforce development is an important part of preparing our nation to be competitive in the new economy. The teleconferences are geared towards workforce professionals, career advisors, and educators, although interested women are welcome to participate as well.

The seventh and final teleconference in this series, “Green Jobs Training: Funding, Implementing, and Collaborating” will take place on October 28, 2010, from 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. EDT. In this teleconference, our speakers will present strategies for partnering and leveraging resources to build capacity and support for green jobs training programs, as well as tips on designing and delivering an effective program.
