3:00 pm-4:00 pm How Green Are Green Jobs and Who is Hiring? Is a “green” job reality or myth? What industries are driv- ing growth in “green” employment? What “green” skills and knowledge do employers look for? Where should community colleges invest their resources in developing new programs? Te Centers of Excellence of California Community Col- leges present the findings of their milestone research studies of 2010-2011. We have surveyed thousands of employers and hundreds of “green” workforce professionals in California. Join us to hear about recent employment and workforce trends in solar energy as well as water/wastewater, biomass, and hybrid vehicles. Also find out the results of our year-long examina- tion of “green jobs” conducted in partnership with the EDD’s Labor Market Information Division (LMID), which focused on identifying the impact of “green” in creating new tasks, skills, and knowledge areas for today’s workforce. By attending this presentation and participating in Q&A session, the community college audience will find out: . Te results of the statewide Solar Energy industry research, including current and future employment, occupations in demand, regional concentration of jobs, hiring preferences, and interest in community college offerings . Te highlights from other “green” environmental scan stud- ies, such as Water/Wastewater, Hybrid Vehicles, and Biomass/ Biofuels. . What “green” tasks, skills, and knowledge areas are in high demand and how they have evolved over time. . How to access the Centers of Excellence reports online.

9:00 am-10:15 am Using Campus Efficiency Projects to Engage Students: A Green Campus Program Perspective Tis session will introduce attendees to best practice resources in engaging students and staff behind campus energy and water efficiency projects. Using case studies from the Alliance to Save Energy’s Green Campus Program, which successfully implement- ed many of these projects on three campuses in the Los Angeles Community College District in 2010, the session will demonstrate how to translate energy/water efficiency projects into opportuni- ties for student involvement on community college campuses. Te presentation will also guide attendees in ways of using efficiency projects to promote green career pathways, educate the campus community, and introduce students to green technology.
Presenters: Ellie Kim, Senior Program Associate, Alliance to Save Energy, Green Campus Program Sydney Pike, Green Campus Student Representative, UCLA
10:45 am-12:00 pm Sustainable Designing with Design/Build Delivery Te Design Build Delivery method can create sustainable in- novation through an integrated team approach. Many colleges state long term sustainable goals, and Design Build teams create collaborative approaches to support those goals within a project. Far reaching concepts such as zero net energy are now being seriously tested and explored with the effect that projects go beyond standard sustainable design. Innovative strategies like solar chimney designs paired with other passive and high efficiency active systems are being introduced. An integrated design team that includes the construction reality from the very beginning will base concepts on practicality and con- structability. We will look at several examples of Design Build projects, including a LEED Platinum police substation and parking structure for Miramar College.
