Identify entry-level employment opportunities for individuals with limited experience or barriers to employment and provide them with the skills necessary to find meaningful employment in the green economy.  The Ella Baker Center has created an inventory of Oakland “green collar” jobs and created a Business Advisory Council comprised of solar installation companies and other green collar employers who are willing to help train and employ Oakland residents in “green jobs.”  The City has issued a $250K RFP to find a workforce training provider to administer the Green Jobs Corps.
