Hi 
 
in response to David's earlier forwarded email about someone wanting a
curriculum for Green Jobs here is a UK resource I have come across 
 
It is not a a curriculum by any means - it is designed as a continuing
professional development resource for teachers in community college type
education but the course refers to some matters about construction and
the build  environment and sustainability so it might be of some
interest

crucial as we build a new green economy.A study by the Center for
American Progress and the Political Economy Research Institute at the

recovery program focused on green building and green energy
infrastructure would create 2 million new green jobs.

engaged in the current and ongoing discussion of America's new green
economy. The resources on this page will help you harness the power of

	July 2009, White House Council of Economic Advisers
	This report projects that green jobs will continue to grow
faster than those within the U.S. economy as a whole in the coming

engineers, technicians and scientists and finds that such jobs grew
faster than other occupations between 2000 and 2006 and projected fast
relative growth through 2016.

Protection Center
	This study measures how many direct and indirect jobs are in the
emerging U.S. green economy. Currently, the economy generates more than
750,000 green jobs and is projected to create 4.2 million green jobs
over the next 30 years. Economic opportunities for the green building
sector are also outlined in this report.
