“The Climate Service Corps is an investment in both people and progress,” said MassCEC CEO Dr. Emily Reichert in a statement. The CBA’s program will feature a 20-week training experience combining educational models and job-readiness training in building science, workplace citizenship, communications and financial literacy. “Over the next six months, CBA will work closely with workforce development consultants and local partners to evaluate and incorporate leading educational programs into the final Climate Service Corps design,” the CBA statement concluded. Massachusetts Climate Chief Melissa Hoffer said in the announcement statement last week that “Massachusetts is full speed ahead on creating good-paying, meaningful clean energy jobs.”“Today, MassCEC is making our vision for a Climate Service Corps a reality. This creates a clear pathway — from recruitment and skill development to hands-on climate service and work experience in permanent career placements,” MassCEC said.
