Green & Sustainability Skills Statements

The National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) led an effort to incorporate green- and sustainability-related knowledge and skills standards into the existing National Career Clusters Framework. They identified green/sustainability-related knowledge and skills to assist states and local programs to prepare individuals for green occupations by incorporating these knowledge and skills standards into 16 Career Clusters and developed specific standards for six Career Cluster areas that are likely to experience the greatest need for green workers: Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources; Architecture & Construction; Information Technology; Manufacturing; Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics; and Transportation, Distribution & Logistics.
