Weeks before Trump takes office, Boston nails down a nearly $10 million climate job training contract - The Boston Globe A federal grant will fund skills training for about 1,200 workers and the creation of at least 500 city jobs in Boston to prepare the region for climate disasters.

Whatโ€™s Bostonโ€™s climate plan for the next 4 years?

Our new coastal resilience jobs alliance now has the resources to train & place 1,200+ residents in water utilities, coastal design, wastewater management, emergency preparedness, flood protection, & other climate-adaptation careers.
