  • CT Conservation Corps Workers Gaining Job Experience, Improving Parks and Forests Building a Foundation for Future Employment Opportunities
    CT Conservation Corps Workers Gaining Job Experience, Improving Parks and Forests Building a Foundation for Future Employment Opportunities Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Dan Esty and Department of Labor Acting Commissioner Dennis C. Murphy today announced that 60 young men and women have helped improve state parks and forests this summer while learning valuable job skills as part of the Connecticut Conservation Corps program (CCC). At an event today to meet the CCC workers and see them at work at Kettletown State Park, Southbury, Commissioner Esty said, “The original CCC helped transform our national and state park system, including parks in Connecticut, and provided valuable experience for the young men who participated. This tradition continues with today’s emphasis on preparing youth to obtain jobs, many of which will be in the ‘Green Job’ sector.” “The federal Labor Department estimates more than three million green jobs exist nationwide, and that number continues to grow everyday,” noted Acting Labor Commissioner Murphy. “The work accomplished through Connecticut’s own Conservation Corps represents improved park facilities as well as an investment in our future workforce. The goal is to provide participants with skills that can be transferred to well‐paying careers, and the knowledge they have obtained this summer is the first step in this process.” The crews this summer were made up of young men and women, ages 18‐25, with a variety of backgrounds, including military veterans who have returned home and are looking to learn new marketable skills. The program ran 6‐8 weeks, depending upon the location of the workers, and participants were paid $8.25 per hour.
