Community Colleges -
Gateways to the Green Economy!
Community colleges are increasingly
a focal point for statewide efforts to create a green economy and
workforce in California. The energy and interest surrounding the
emerging green economy provides community colleges with a unique
opportunity to increase their perceived and actual value to the
communities where they exist.
The Summit has been designed to respond to these trends by:
-
Highlighting the savings available from building and running green
campuses.
-
Emphasizing and demonstrating how a green training curricula could and
should be comprehensive, coordinated campus to campus, and tied into the
new energy economy emerging in California.
-
Motivating attendees and showing how community colleges can be a living
laboratory where students use their training to green their campuses
(e.g., on site apprenticeships).
-
Emphasizing and presenting how community colleges can be a model of
sustainable practices to the community where the campus is located.
-
Helping to highlight and reinforce the community college commitment to
meet the green workforce demands and opportunities through its educational
commitments and programs.
