Meanwhile the program provides an entry or gateway to employment for unemployed or underemployed individuals. And ‘green jobs’ in this case refers to a growing list of occupations that have arisen out of regional national and even international efforts to make homes and commercial buildings more energy-efficient thus reducing society’s overall carbon footprint. ‘ These would be considered mostly entry-level positions with fairly modest salaries but they could lead to work higher up the ladder said Ward. The Springfield-Holyoke endeavor is part of a $1 million statewide initiative that encompasses five separate projects all involving Gateway cities.
