I think it's a step forward. A small step but a step. Getting kids any entry level job is a good thing these days, setting them up for careers in climate positive sectors is even better, and I personally like anything that moves us closer to the New Deal 😆

I find it hard to get excited about a paid plus benefits jobs training program for college grads that only has 20k openings. They didn’t create any actual public sector jobs, so whether or not these people even get to apply these skills to the project of climate preservation is wholly dependent on finding a position in the private sector doing that.
