ManufacturingCareer Ladder

Prepared by AdvanceCT and Thomas P. Miller & Associates

To increase job opportunities in Connecticut’s green technology sector, lower energy costs, improve energy efficiency and promote sustainability, the Office of Workforce Competitiveness, in consultation with other agencies, created a green jobs career ladder. This ladder is designed to link green jobs employers with technical education and career schools and institutions of higher education to foster coordination and grow the workforce in the sector.

The green jobs ladder includes components such as the scope of the industry and various occupations included, the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in those occupations, and the professional opportunities available at the entry, mid‐career and advanced levels, along with the current salary ranges for each. To maintain this ladder as a comprehensive and useful resource for the green technology industry and its educational partners, it will be updated periodically as needed.
