Wayne Metro just announced: a paid ($15/hr) Green Jobs Training program cohort 2 begins in June and will last for 10 weeks.  It is 24 hours / week but should be considered a 'full time' commitment. 

No experience required to apply.  The only requirements are that applicants have a high school diploma / GED equivalent.  The program will have drug screening and background checks and will also require that participants be vaccinated due to the in-person nature of much of the work. 

This is a very exciting opportunity with options as far as certification options and pathways built into the program, in order to try and cater to individual people's interest.  

Please note: Don't delay, if you are interested, cohort 1 filled up fast. Apply now to save your space in cohort 2 beginning in July.
