Vision for Environmental Training, Employment and Health Programs

The National Green Jobs Corp program will finish in June 2012 and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations has confirmed there will be “no environmental training and employment programs for the foreseeable future”. It will be the first time in 20 years that labour market programs of this type have not been available. This is despite the ongoing youth unemployment, social and environmental problems these programs can alleviate.

This paper examines these issues and proposes an innovative program design for funding by Government and other investment sources.
