In the midst of rising energy costs and record unemployment, one company has worked for two years to offer a one-stop-shop for consumers and job seekers.

Southampton, NJ, December 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In the midst of a dreary economy, the Green Jobs Movement takes center stage at South Jersey's most busy traffic circle. The unique building design has a 1,200 sqft training center at its heart, surrounded by support and sales offices.

The ability to be a resource for the community is paramount focus for everyone on the Team of over 20 active employees, subcontractors, and affiliates.
