Green Jobs
OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY
At the City of Cincinnati’s Office of Environment & Sustainability, we are committed to building pathways towards a greener future for all Cincinnatians. Our approach to building and encouraging a green workforce is intertwined with the GCP’s overall Equity Commitment below. We seek solutions that address the economic and opportunity gaps that affect marginalized communities. We want to provide support and remove barriers to employment in the various green career pathways.
The Green Cincinnati Plan (GCP) is committed to equity – see the definition, framework, and strategies here.

Funding for Green Workforce Development
The City’s Office of Environment and partners are actively pursuing funding to support green workforce initiatives.
Currently, there are no immediate funding opportunities. If you know of an opportunity that you would like to work with the City to pursue, please reach out to thanapat.vichitchot@cincinnati-oh.gov to discuss collaborating.

Green Jobs Regional Landscape
The City of Cincinnati is currently assessing the regional landscape for green jobs. Green jobs cross various industry sectors, but trends show that the majority will be needed in the construction industry as we transition to clean energy and electrified buildings.
The City and partners are currently working toward a formal regional green jobs landscape analysis report. Until then, take a look at REDI Cincinnati’s top 40 green jobs report from Lightcast.
