Why a Collaborative Approach Matters
Texas is at the forefront of the clean energy revolution—but building a green workforce that reflects the state’s diversity requires more than job openings. It demands collaboration between nonprofits, educational institutions, government, and industry.
Uniting for Impact
The Green Workforce Collaborative brings together 12 nonprofits and multiple institutions to create a scalable model for workforce development. This coalition tackles barriers to entry for underrepresented groups while promoting long-term employment in clean energy and environmental fields.
The Power of Public-Private Partnerships
Working with entities like Texas Tech University, St. Philip’s College, and the City of San Antonio, GWC aligns training with actual job market needs. These partnerships ensure that certifications and career paths lead directly to living-wage employment.
Community-Based Training for Real Results
By embedding programs in local communities, the Collaborative helps economically disadvantaged residents access career opportunities where they live—reducing transportation barriers and supporting economic mobility.
Scaling Green Workforce Solutions
Sustainable change doesn’t happen in silos. Texas is proving that community-rooted collaboration is the engine behind a thriving, inclusive green economy.
