We’re thrilled to share that we received a grant from the GitLab Foundation $3M Green Jobs for Economic Opportunity Fund! This investment will allow us to expand registered apprenticeship pathways, including structured on-the-job training and classroom instruction, for underrepresented groups to attain careers in industries across the green economy. We look forward to working alongside the rest of the cohort to increase diverse representation and workforce participation across the green economy.
📣 Congratulations to the Green Jobs for Economic Opportunity Fund grantees! After reviewing more than 115 impressive applications, nine pioneering teams were chosen to test and implement early-stage initiatives to enhance economic mobility and increase wages by boosting the green economy. 🌱 Across all projects, we predict that the Green Jobs for Economic Opportunity Fund will increase lifetime earnings by more than $470 million across 3,000+ people❗ Meet the grantees at the link in the comments below. ⤵ #greenjobs #greeneconomy #economicopportunity #philanthropy
