California Works Alliance: Jobs Through Recycling and Resource Management
Become part of one of the largest and most rapidly growing industries in America – Recycling and Resource Management. The Recycling industry is larger than the auto industry. As more cities and businesses develop sustainability and zero waste policies, they need trained personnel to properly manage their resources and programs.

By increasing our recycling, composting and reuse industries, the demand for qualified staff is high. Resource management positions encourage leadership, creative solutions and innovative ideas. Positions include green facility management, recycling coordinators, sustainability team members, reuse operators and 100s of other green, clean and well paying jobs.
California Resource Recovery Association, in partnership with Santa Monica City College, is proud to announce the launch of their “California Works Alliance: Jobs Through Recycling and Resource Management” Industry Certification program. This program is valued at over $3000 and will be offered free to qualified applicants through the grant scholarship program.
