Chicagoland Green Collar Jobs Business Survey

Take the survey.

The Chicagoland Green Collar Jobs Initiative invites you to participate in a 5-minute online survey that seeks to understand how the "green" movement may be influencing businesses.

Since September 2007 the Chicagoland Green Collar Jobs Initiative has been working to develop a skilled workforce that is ready to meet employer demands and capitalize on opportunities in the new "green" economy.

The Initiative is a collaboration of partners from labor groups, community organizations, businesses, community colleges, sustainability organizations, and nonprofits.

One of the Initiative's undertakings is a survey of businesses in Cook, DuPage, and Lake counties. A report will be compiled from the responses, and distributed to all those participating. Individual survey responses will be kept confidential and not be shared.

This is the first step in a wider effort to hear from businesses about how sustainability and "green" may be influencing their activities. It will be followed by individual and group interviews to better identify areas of opportunity in emerging green sectors. Your response will help inform the process and foster a closer relationship between employers and workforce development organizations.
