The US Department of Energy, Office of Science and five other agencies (Department of Homeland Security, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Veterans Affairs, Department of State, and Department of Labor), in collaboration with the Partnership for Public Service, have developed a pilot website (http://careers.science.gov) to highlight science and technology (S&T) careers in the Federal government and provide a collection of resources of interest to students and professionals considering an S&T career in public service.
As you may know, Federal agencies face many challenges in recruiting S&T talent, including:
- the lack of general awareness and understanding of the outstanding career opportunities in the Federal government for scientists and engineers;
- the growing retirements of the "baby boomer" generation, which will lead to increased vacancies of key S&T positions across the Federal agencies;
- competition with the private sector for top talent in S&T fields; and
- the limitations of USAJOBS.gov-the primary avenue for applying to science and engineering positions for most Federal agencies-for communicating what jobs are available and what these jobs are really like.
The pilot website will be available through February 2012. A Feedback Survey developed with and hosted by the Partnership for Public Service will help provide insight as to how the Federal government might improve its recruitment of S&T professionals.
We would appreciate it if you would take a look at the website (http://careers.science.gov) and complete the short survey. Feel free to share this message with your Federal and non-Federal colleagues.

NAAEE is working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on the Youth in the Great Outdoors (YGO) project to promote career opportunities by providing opportunities for mentoring and career workshops at the annual conference.

YGO is a FWS initiative to "engage, educate, and employ youth from all walks of life to care about our lands, waters, wildlife, culture, and heritage."

New York, November 16, 2009 – Green Dream Jobs and green careers author and workforce development consultant Jim Cassio released data that shows the top green jobs posted by employers and in which cities over the past year – during the recession.

Although a plethora of studies show the potential for green jobs going forward, many note the dearth of data on current green jobs in the U.S. economy. Green Dream Jobs, a leading green employment website online since 1996, collects concrete historical and current data on the types of jobs employers are actually looking to fill.

”The leading job tiles show the breadth of green positions across the economy,” says Rona Fried, Ph.D., CEO of SustainableBusiness.com, which runs Green Dream Jobs. “Most people think of energy auditing and renewable energy as green jobs, but leading non-profit organizations are major employers, and people needed to run projects and analyze data are in demand, as well as those in sales and business development. Engineers are also in demand for renewable energy operations and even in this economy we’re still seeing many job openings in green building.”

”The data also point to the variety of skill levels employers seek – from executive management skills as Executive Director of green non-profits (NGOs), to mid-level skills associated with analysis, project development and managerial positions, to entry level skills for positions like Administrative Assistant,” notes Jim Cassio. "Most people don't seem to realize the variety of green jobs that exist - if you simply consider all jobs that are good for the environment to be green jobs," adds Cassio.

Interestingly, the most frequently used keywords by job seekers searching job openings on Green Dream Jobs match many of the available positions: sustainability; climate change; wind, solar, construction manager, architectural designer, executive director, naturalist.

Based on the Green Dream Jobs data, the top city for green employment over the past year is Washington DC, reflecting the many executive director positions at green NGOs. Other top 10 cities are those with aggressive green business incentives and policies: the San Francisco Bay area, New York, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Portland, Oregon and Burlington, Vermont. The top 20 cities include Houston, Madison, Wisconsin, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego in California, and Philadelphia.

Our conclusion: although there have been fewer green job openings over the past year, there remains a wide variety of green employment opportunities in many fields and for people of all skill levels. As the economy recovers, we expect a surge in openings in the various renewable energy sectors, as we saw in previous years.

Green Dream Jobs will soon launch the Green Jobs Educational Directory to help people locate the hundreds of green job training programs under development across the US.

National Parks Service program provides opportunities for teachers from schools with diverse student populations to have well-rounded work experiences in national parks. Selected teachers spend the summer working as park rangers and develop lesson plans based on their experience for use in the classroom.
http://eelink.net/cgi-bin/ee-link/newclick/5781220

National parks enrich the lives of many in this nation. They provide access to the powerful ideas, values, and meanings associated with the remarkable cultural, natural, and recreational heritage of the United States. The National Park Service (NPS) strives to provide opportunities for all Americans to connect to their national heritage through the national parks. However, these opportunities are lacking for some - often due to a variety of social and economic factors.

The Teacher to Ranger to Teacher (TRT) Program offers a solution, by linking National Park units with teachers from low income school districts. Under this program, selected teachers spend the summer working as park rangers, often living in the park. They perform various duties depending on their interests and the needs of the park, including developing and presenting interpretive programs for the general public, staffing the visitor center desk, developing curriculum-based materials for the park, or taking on special projects.

Then, during the school year, these teacher-rangers bring the parks into the classroom by developing and presenting curriculum-based lesson plans that draw on their summer's experience. In April, during National Park Week, teacher-rangers wear their NPS uniforms to school, discuss their summer as a park ranger, and engage students and other teachers in activities that relate to America's national parks.

For additional information about the Teacher Ranger program go to http://www.nps.gov/wupa/forteachers/trt.htm.
