The Biden administration is set to open the American Climate Corps jobs board next month, offering a range of positions aimed at addressing climate change and environmental conservation. In short:The program, inspired by the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps, will initially offer hundreds of jobs, with plans to hire 20,000 young people in its first year. Positions will cover various fields including energy efficiency, disaster response, recycling, and wildfire mitigation, with no experience required for most jobs. Strong public support is seen for the program, with a majority of voters across political lines backing the initiative and many young people showing interest. Not everyone is supportive of the American climate corps, even politicians who are typically pro-jobs.
