Governor Brian Schweitzer and the state Board of Regents have unveiled a Web site that gives those interested in "green" energy a way to learn about industry opportunities. It also allows them to find online classes to prepare for jobs in the field.
Schweitzer says the new Montana Green Campus allows a worker in rural Montana to go online and learn about green energy job opportunities in the state and to sign up for Internet classes to retrain for those jobs.
