In the current economic climate, it is hard to find any industry or business sector that is really growing, much less adding jobs. One bright spot, however, may be the green economy. In collaboration with the Green Careers Center, the Virginia Sustainability Building Network has organized for a Green Job Fair to be held on February 27 in Arlington, VA. According to their website, the event will feature: 1) Employers in the energy and environmental fields with both “hands on” and policy jobs 2) Presentations on the new federal economic recovery initiatives and the potential for Green Job growth in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland and 3) Ideas on job skills and academic background necessary for the new Green economy.

The event will take place from 8:00 am – 6:00 pm at the Westin Arlington Gateway, 801 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia (Near the Ballston Metro Station).
