"All these students are on the pathway to employment in retrofitting and building analysis. They are ready for the new green economy!" - Rebecca Lurie, Consortium for Worker Education – a member of the NYC Apollo Alliance Steering Committee.

Urban Agenda, convener of the NYC Apollo Alliance, is leading advocacy efforts to ensure NYC's sustainability policies create good jobs and enhance New York City's environment.  Urban Agenda is also spearheading the Green Collar Jobs Roundtable Campaign to urge New York City Mayoral and City Council candidates to commit to a workforce development plan that connects green jobs with jobseekers.
