The Industrial Commons

We're looking forward to continuing amazing work in Appalachia partnered with our friends at Coalfield Development Corporation!

Last week, our program officer Roger Joseph Perez joined other philanthropies at The White House to discuss the importance of place-based programs for expanding career pathways and high-quality job training programs. 💡 "Overall, it was a good day that reinforced our green jobs strategy, especially in an environment of high labor needs," Roger said. Specifically, his biggest takeaways were: — There is a lot of good momentum in this space, especially in advancing green jobs and training talent for the jobs of the future. 🌱 — Our current grantees, like The Industrial Commons, are shaping the way local and regional economies develop. They are the recipients of a very competitive National Science Foundation (NSF) grant! 👏 #philanthropy #greenjobs #thewhitehouse #policy

As the global economy shifts to address climate change, the demand for green jobs is growing. Employers play a crucial role in this transformation. Join JFF, in partnership with Indeed, for an upcoming #EarthDay conversation that will offer insights for both employers and employees on green jobs qualifications, training requirements, career navigation options, and supports and services available from regional workforce leaders. TIC Co-Executive Director, Molly Hemstreet will be a speaker in this exciting webinar! RSVP today! https://lnkd.in/e66sUKu3 | #GreenJobs
