If you keep one eye (or two) on environmental news here in the San Diego Region, you might be interested in checking out the Bright Green Future event being held on Oct 23-24.
If you’re not an “industry insider” yet, but you’re interested in what all the green fuss is about, check out the Green Jobs for San Diego panel during Friday’s 1 pm session. Wendy Evers, senior director of program development at SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, will join Vicky Krantz of UCSD Extension and Dr. Murtaza Baxamusa of the Center on Policy Initiatives to talk about green jobs and what kind of training can prepare you to enter this fast-growing field.
With $43 billion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allotted for energy-related projects throughout the United States, this sector is poised for major growth – so it’s a great time to polish up your skills and jump in!
Speaking of shining up those green skills, Green Solutions for the Home, one of the five courses in the Sustainable Practices Professional Certificate at SDSU’s College of Extended Studies, begins online Oct. 5. It’s becoming more and more important to know how to evaluate and improve the energy efficiency of your home, including the healthiness of the spaces and materials in it – whether you’re selling, buying, building, remodeling, or just staying put. Sign up to learn how to positively impact the environment while improving the appearance, comfort, and energy efficiency of your home.
