Baltimore Green Jobs Academy

Baltimore Green Jobs Academy, an initiative of Baltimore Green Justice Workers Cooperative (BGJWC), provides adults (aged 25 and older) from overburdened, underserved and low-wealth communities in and around Baltimore City with opportunities to complete pre-apprenticeships and other types of workforce development certification/training that will help them jumpstart a pathway into a green career.

Currently, BGJWC's Baltimore Green Jobs Academy offers the following pre-apprenticeships and workforce development opportunities:

Offshore Wind (OSW) & Related Industries Pre-Apprenticeship/Training Pilot, a 14-week (in-person) training that introduces adults (aged 25 and older) to careers in the Offshore Wind and related industries.

The North Avenue Learning Initiative is a GED Ministry sponsored by City of Abraham Church & Ministries, Inc. As part of this GED Ministry, BGJWC manages a hybrid Saturday ABE/GED Class that prepares adults (aged 19 and older) to pass all four sections (Math, Social Studies, Science & Reasoning through Language Arts) of the Official GED Exam.

BGJWC is working to infuse climate literacy into its ABE/GED curriculum. Watch the video below for examples of how other adult literacy programs are incorporating climate literacy into their adult education programs:
