>  I have been working with Habitat for Humanity for about two years (which uses purely traditional construction methods) and am discovering that I would love to have a career in construction.  I'm very interested in sustainable construction, but I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to finding employment resources.  I don't have much hands-on experience with green building techniques, so I'm considering enrolling first in some of the building schools that are out there. 
Have a look at the Sustainable Building Design and Construction Course 
offered by Fleming College in Haliburton, Ontario
This is a 20 week course and will give you a good leg up on getting an 
apprenticeship.
