Promoting Green Jobs
Breathe Southern California (Breathe SoCal) promotes green jobs by connecting residents to training, certifications, and career pathways in industries that support clean air, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure. We believe communities most impacted by pollution should also benefitfrom the economic opportunities created by the clean energy transition.
Expanding Access to Clean Economy Careers
Southern California’s shift toward clean transportation, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure is generating demand for skilled workers across multiple sectors.
Green jobs:
Support the transition to zero-emission transportation and clean energy systems
Provide stable, career-track employment opportunities
Offer competitive wages and advancement pathways
Strengthen local economies
Help reduce environmental health disparities by investing in impacted communities
Ensuring equitable access to these careers is essential for building both environmental and economic resilience.
Why Green Jobs Matters
We partner with workforce agencies, educational institutions, community organizations, and employers to:
Connect residents to training programs in EV maintenance, charging infrastructure installation, and clean transportation technologies
Support workforce initiatives tied to freight and port electrification
Provide career awareness workshops and information sessions
Share resources about certifications, apprenticeships, and job placement opportunities
Advocate for workforce investments in disadvantaged communities
Our goal is to ensure that the clean energy economy works for everyone, especially those historically excluded from high-growth industries.
