Bronx Green Jobs Center
Creating Career Paths to a Green Economy for the Bronx
Fordham University has convened a coalition of community, industry, and higher education partners to launch the Bronx Green Jobs Center, the new home for a pioneering initiative designed to serve as a vital bridge connecting local talent to New York’s rapidly expanding green economy.
This first-of-its-kind green economy hub will deliver best-in-class job training, employment services, and support for aspiring entrepreneurs in sustainable industries, helping community members access good-paying jobs in innovative and high-demand fields that are shaping the future.
Doors will open in early 2027, turning a vacant former industrial building along bustling East Fordham Road in the Bronx into a state-of-the-art facility.
