One Island is building a Green Jobs Training program and a Green Business Incubator. Both are Rural Economic Development programs aimed at equalizing rural access to the New Green Economy. Based on Whidbey Island, our project is serving the rural development needs of the islands off the coast of Washington state.

There is a wellspring of valuable untapped intellectual capital in the rural Northwest Islands and we invite these communities collaboration to bring these fresh ideas, inventions, and green products to market.

 Our Green Jobs Training includes energy efficiency, solar energy,  sustainable agriculture, greening travel options,  GIS resource  management mapping, natural products and services, & health and wellness training.

One Island’s Green Business Incubator assists local and start-up businesses in developing Green Economy opportunities through training, business planning, and grants writing services. Bringing new products to market, opening new markets for green products, and adopting green practices are all part of this transformation of the 21st century marketplace.
