What makes a clean energy job a *good* job?
✅ Prevailing wage
✅ Apprenticeship pathways
✅ Benefits and long-term careers
That's the Climate Jobs Illinois standard.
Wind turbine technicians. Solar installers. Nuclear plant engineers. Electricians, security officers, teachers, janitors.

Apprenticeship is a pathway, not a shortcut.

A union job is a climate solution.
Every building retrofitted and every renewable project built by skilled, trained workers is a step toward a cleaner Illinois.
Climate Jobs Illinois represents hundreds of thousands of Illinois union men and women, apprentices, and trainees working toward a carbon-free future.
Labor isn't waiting on climate solutions. We're building them.

Clean energy is only as good as the jobs it creates.
Under CEJA, utility-scale renewable projects in Illinois must pay prevailing wages and use project labor agreements. Good jobs aren't a bonus. They're the standard.
We don't have to choose between good union jobs and a clean, healthy future. Illinois workers are building both.
