Swords to Plowshares seeks green jobs for vets

The US Department of Labor recently announced $7.5 million in employment and training grants for organizations that will help place veterans in green jobs. And with this money it plans to help 3,000 veterans across the country.
To understand more about this initiative, FSRN contacted Swords to Plowshares. “Swords” is a California based non-profit and it recently received a $300,000 grant to assist unemployed veterans in the Bay Area. FSRN spoke with Dave Lopez, the director of employment and training services.
