O*NET RESOURCE CENTER

THE GREEN ECONOMY [green economic sectors, green increased demand occupations, green enhanced skills occupations, and green new and emerging (N&E) occupations]

http://www.onetcenter.org/green.html

The impact of green economy activities and technologies is rapidly changing the world of work by affecting worker requirements and occupational demand. Find green economic sectors and occupations here.

The National Center for O*NET Development, as part of its efforts to keep up with the changing world of work, investigated the impact of green economy activities and technologies on occupational requirements and the development of New and Emerging (N&E) occupations. Results of the research led to the identification of green economic sectors, green increased demand occupations, green enhanced skills occupations, and green new and emerging (N&E) occupations. These occupations are now reflected in the O*NET-SOC system.

For the National Center for O*NET Development's research on the green economy, read Greening of the World of Work: Implications for O*NET-SOC and New and Emerging Occupations. In addition to the report on the green economy, the National Center for O*NET Development maintains a Green Book of References that is updated quarterly. Most recently, green tasks have been delevolped for green enhanced skills and green new and emerging occupations; see the O*NET Green Task Development Project report.
