Report: Green-jobs program struggling to place workers
"More than half of the 81,354 people that completed training in the stimulus program already had jobs, the report said.
In a sample of 81 enrollees who already had jobs, the investigators “found no evidence that they needed green job training” to reach program goals of obtaining full-time employment, career advancement or job retention.
In all, the program helped 30,857 workers find jobs for some period of time. That amounted to 38 percent of the program’s target of 81,254 jobs. But that figure also included those who were already employed and earned a new position because of the training."
