  • August 10, 2023

There’s high demand for workers to fill green transportation jobs right now, driven largely by the growing demand for EVs.

Detroit native Q Johnson knew electric vehicles were the future when he left Ford in 2006. He’s now an entrepreneur in green transportation, having founded PlugZen, an EV charging company. Johnson is passionate about the environmental impact of his work and sees the potential for growth in green transportation careers.

Kwabena Q Johnson Plug Zen

With a background in mechanical engineering, Johnson became an EV expert through hands-on experience. He says there are “many avenues” for job-seekers in green transportation, and the key is finding the right fit.

For those interested in pursuing a career in green transportation, there are numerous training and entry-level job opportunities in Metro Detroit and beyond, offering significant potential for advancement. This Planet Detroit Climate Guide will explore common questions about this growing field.

What is a green transportation job?

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics defines green jobs broadly, encompassing various fields. Glenn Stevens, executive director of MICHauto, includes any sustainable transportation that reduces carbon emissions or is net zero, from traditional vehicles to walking.

“We think it’s any form of sustainable transportation that is either reducing carbon emissions or is net zero, all the way down to walking,” said Glenn Stevens, executive director of auto industry advocacy organization MICHauto. “[That includes]traditional vehicles, but we’re working right now with off-road recreational vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, and then you get to motorcycles and electric bikes and bikes and walking. They’re all green transportation forms.”

One of the fastest-growing subsets of green transportation jobs involves manufacturing and powering electric vehicles (EVs), including hybrid and battery-powered passenger, commercial, and public transit vehicles.

In Detroit, major employers are repositioning themselves as green transportation employers focusing on EVs. Companies like GM, Ford, and Stellantis have set ambitious sustainability goals, and they now see themselves as tech companies due to the increasing digitalization and sustainability of their vehicles.

What is the outlook for green transportation jobs?

Demand for green transportation jobs is high, driven by the growing demand for EVs. A Goldman Sachs Research forecast anticipates EVs will account for half of all new car sales worldwide by 2035. In 2021, clean transportation jobs in Michigan grew by 22%, far faster than the state’s overall clean energy job growth rate.

Federal and state policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Michigan’s MI Healthy Climate Plan also drive sector expansion. Stevens highlights the “Wild Wild West” of talent opportunities as automakers rapidly hire for electrification and alternative energy propulsion.

Stevens said it’s “absolutely the Wild Wild West when it comes to talent opportunities,” noting that automakers are “all in an absolute arms race, for lack of a better term, regarding electrification and other forms of alternative energy propulsion.”

“They can’t hire people strategically fast enough in those areas,” Stevens said.

One challenge is the rapidly developing technology, creating undefined job opportunities. However, the outlook for green transportation jobs over the next five to 10 years remains very good.

How can I get started in a green transportation career?

Various training options are available for green transportation careers, including low-cost or free programs. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administrationgranted $10 million to the Southeast Michigan Community Alliance for transportation-related training programs. The resulting Building an Industry Infinity Supply Chain program offers reimbursement for training, from certification programs to associate’s degrees.

Michigan has invested $12 million in the Michigan Electric Vehicle Jobs Academy, which offers tuition assistance for EV-related jobs. Michigan Works! agencies can help identify training and funding opportunities.

A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is often a prerequisite for many transportation jobs. Electricians are also in high demand in green transportation, and apprenticeship programs provide opportunities to “earn as they learn.”

College education offers many paths into green transportation careers. The state’s Michigan Reconnect programoffers free tuition at participating community colleges for those seeking anassociate’s degree, and many employers will pay for employeesto pursue higher-level degrees.

If you’re considering a college education for a green transportation career, here are some of the automotive-related programs available in Metro Detroit.

  • CAAT at MCC offers the Vehicle Engineering Technician and the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Automotive Manufacturing Program, both associate’s degree programs.
  • MCC also offers an associate’s degree in automotive technology, a bachelor’s in automotive management through Ferris State University, and certificate programs inspecializations, including engines and alternative fuels. Learn more about MCC’s automotive programs here.
  • Washtenaw Community College offers various certificate and degree programs in advanced manufacturing and automotive technology. The college’s Advanced Transportation Center also works directly with local employers and automotive researchers to tailor its offerings to industry needs.
  • Henry Ford College offers several certificate and degree programs in automotive technology.
  • The University of Detroit Mercy offers graduate programs in advanced electric vehicles, vehicle cyber engineering, and smart and autonomous vehicles.
  • Lawrence Technological University offers a graduate program in automotive engineering. It’s also home to the Automotive Engineering Institute, an “applied research and academic organization focused on creating new knowledge in the field of automotive engineering.”
  • The University of Michigan offers a graduate program in automotive engineering.
  • Wayne State University offers a graduate program in electric-drive vehicle engineering, the first in the nation when it launched in 2010.

What green transportation jobs are available right now?

A wide variety of jobs are available in Michigan’s transportation industry, including architectural and engineering managers, transportation and distribution managers, civil engineers, compliance officers, and supervisors of transportation workers.

With the auto industry’s shift towards technology, transportation employers also play a significant role in other sectors.

The state’s top transportation employers include Michigan, Ryder, Home Depot, General Motors, and GPAC. Job opportunities in the EV industry range from scientific research, design and development, manufacturing, EV maintenance, and infrastructure development to sales and support. For more information on specific jobs, salaries, and pathways, check out these career profiles from the EV Jobs Academy.

What options are available for starting my own green transportation business?

In green transportation, businesses have diverse needs beyond designing or building EVs and chargers. For example, there’s a need for well-designed curricula to train new workers. If you have an idea for a green transportation business, various resources can help you get started:

  1. Michigan Mobility Funding Platform offers grants to mobility and electrification companies.
  2. Plug and Play, a Silicon Valley-based incubator, focuses on mobility and energy.
  3. Michigan Small Business Development Center provides free classes, programs, and services for new business owners.
  4. Michigan’s SmartZones offer resources for tech businesses, including incubator services and networking opportunities.
  5. Michigan Founders Fund provides networking and educational opportunities with entrepreneurs and investors.
  6. Community college classes are a great resource for learning about running a business or taking non-credit continuing education courses.

This is one in a series of Climate Guide reprints originally published by Planet Detroit (planetdetroit.org). Planet Detroit provides weekly updates that focus on explanatory, solutions-based, and investigative reporting about environmental issues in Detroit and Michigan. This Planet Detroit Climate Guide was made possible with the generous support of the GM Foundation.

Patrick Dunn has written for national publications including The A.V. Club andPaste, as well as a slew of Michigan-based publications. Patrick graduated from Wayne State University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He lives in Ann Arbor. When he’s not pitching, editing, or writing stories, he can usually be found at the movies or in the woods.

Trabajos en el sector del transporte ecológico en Detroit

Una Guía Climática de Planet Detroit reproducido por EL CENTRAL Hispanic News

Hay una gran demanda de personal para ocupar cargos en la industria del transporte ecológico, impulsada en gran medida por la creciente demanda de vehículos eléctricos.

Q Johnson nacido en Detroit, le apostó al futuro de los vehículos eléctricos cuando dejó la empresa Ford en el 2006, convirtiéndose en empresario del transporte ecológico; fundó PlugZen, una empresa de recarga de vehículos eléctricos, le apasiona el impacto ambiental que genera su trabajo y visualiza el potencial de crecimiento para las profesiones en el transporte ecológico.

Por su conocimiento en ingeniería mecánica, Johnson se convirtió con la práctica, en un experto en vehículos eléctricos. Comenta que hay “muchos caminos” para quienes buscan trabajo en el transporte ecológico, y la clave es encontrar la opción adecuada.

Para aquellos interesados en seguir una carrera en esta área de gran potencial, existen muchas oportunidades de capacitación y empleo de nivel inicial en Metro Detroit. Esta guía climática de Planet Detroit explorará algunas preguntas frecuentes sobre este campo en crecimiento.

¿Qué es un empleo en el sector del transporte verde?

La Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de EE. UU. define los empleos verdes de manera amplia y abarca varios campos. Glenn Stevens, director ejecutivo del comité de Defensa de la Industria Automotriz MICHauto, incluye cualquier transporte sostenible que reduzca las emisiones de carbono o sea carbono neutral, desde los vehículos tradicionales hasta andar a pie.

“Creemos que es cualquier forma de transporte sostenible que reduzca las emisiones de carbono o bien, sea carbono neutro; incluso andar a pie”, comentó Glenn Stevens. “(Eso incluye) vehículos tradicionales, pero estamos trabajando en este momento con vehículos recreativos todoterreno (cuatrimotos), vehículos utilitarios todo terreno (ATV), motos de nieve, motocicletas, bicicletas eléctricas, bicicletas y andar a pie. Todos son transportes ecológicos”.

Uno de los subconjuntos de empleos del transporte ecológico de más rápido crecimiento incluye la fabricación y el suministro de energía a los vehículos eléctricos (EV), incluidos los vehículos de pasajeros, comerciales y de transporte público híbridos y de batería. 

En Detroit, las principales empresas se están reposicionando como empleadores de transporte ecológico, centrándose en vehículos eléctricos. Empresas como GM, Ford y Stellantis, se han fijado ambiciosos objetivos de sostenibilidad y ahora se han convertido en empresas tecnológicas, debido a la creciente digitalización y sostenibilidad de sus vehículos.

¿Qué se espera para los empleos del transporte verde?

La demanda de trabajos de transporte ecológico es alta, impulsada por la creciente demanda de vehículos eléctricos. Un pronóstico de Goldman Sachs Research, anticipa que los vehículos eléctricos representarán la mitad de todas las ventas de automóviles nuevos en todo el mundo para el 2035. En el año 2021, los empleos de transporte limpio de Michigan crecieron un 22 %, mucho más que la tasa de crecimiento global de los empleos verdes en el estado.

Las políticas federales y estatales como la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA) y la Estrategia Climática (Michigan’s MI Healthy Climate Plan) también impulsan la expansión del sector.

Stevens destaca las grandes oportunidades del talento humano, a medida que las empresas automotrices contratan personal para la electrificación y la propulsión de energía alternativa.

Stevens señaló que los fabricantes de automóviles están “todos en una batalla absoluta, a falta de un término mejor, con respecto a la electrificación y otras formas de propulsión de energía alternativa”.

“No pueden contratar gente estratégicamente, lo suficientemente rápido en esas áreas”, dijo Stevens.

Un desafío es el rápido desarrollo de la tecnología, que crea oportunidades laborales indefinidas. Sin embargo, las perspectivas para los empleos de transporte ecológico de los próximos 5 a 10 años siguen siendo muy buenas.

¿Cómo empezar una carrera en el transporte ecológico?

Hay varias opciones de capacitación disponible en el transporte ecológico, incluidos programas gratuitos o de bajo costo. La Administración de Capacitación y Empleo del Departamento de Trabajo de EE. UU. Otorgó 10 millones de dólares a la Alianza Comunitaria del Sudeste de Michigan, para programas de formación relacionados con el transporte. El programa Building an Industry Infinity Supply Chain resultante, ofrece reembolsos por las capacitaciones, desde programas de certificación hasta estudios Técnicos.

Michigan ha invertido 12 millones de dólares en la Academia de Empleos de Vehículos Eléctricos de Michigan, que ofrece asistencia económica en la matrícula para las carreras relacionadas con vehículos eléctricos y muchas agencias pueden ayudar a identificar oportunidades de capacitación y financiamiento.

Una licencia de conducir comercial (CDL) suele ser un requisito previo para muchos trabajos de transporte. Los electricistas tienen una gran demanda en el transporte ecológico, y los programas de aprendizaje brindan oportunidades para “ganar mientras aprenden”.

La formación universitaria, ofrece muchos caminos hacia las carreras de transporte ecológico. El programa Michigan Reconnect del estado ofrece matrícula gratuita en las universidades comunitarias participantes para aquellos que busquen un título Técnico, y muchos empleadores les pagarán a los empleados para que obtengan títulos de nivel superior.

Si está considerando una educación universitaria para una carrera de transporte ecológico, estos son algunos de los programas disponibles en Metro Detroit.

Con el cambio tecnológico de la industria automotriz, los empleadores del transporte también juegan unpapel importante en otros sectores.

Los principales empleadores de transporte incluyen: el estado de Michigan, Ryder, Home Depot, General Motors y GPAC. Las oportunidades laborales en la industria de vehículos eléctricos van desde la investigación científica, el diseño y el desarrollo, la fabricación, el mantenimiento de vehículos eléctricos y el desarrollo de infraestructura hasta las ventas y el soporte. Para obtener más información sobre trabajos y salarios, consulte estos perfiles profesionales de EV Jobs Academy.

¿Opciones disponibles para iniciar mi propio negocio en el transporte ecológico?

En el transporte ecológico, las empresas tienen diversas necesidades más allá del diseño o la construcción de vehículos eléctricos y cargadores. Por ejemplo, existe la necesidad de planes de estudio bien diseñados para capacitar a los nuevos trabajadores. Si tiene una idea para un negocio en el transporte ecológico, varios recursos pueden ayudarlo a comenzar:
