Blog Post: Green Events, Green News & Green Jobs

The San Diego region is a great place to be going green this fall season…

First, SDSU’s College of Extended Studies sends its thanks out to everyone who attended their Embracing the Green Future forum! They’re putting great information online now for those of you who weren’t able to attend. Browse what’s already up on their green future web page now, and check back, too – they’ll be uploading video from the forum as soon as it’s ready to go online. 

Also mark your calendars….. the two-day Bright Green Future conference is coming up, which will bring together experts on San Diego's regional energy, natural resources, transportation, green business, job training, sustainable living and building, and more. Sessions focused on government and business issues will run on Friday, Oct. 23, with public and community sessions on Saturday, Oct. 24. On Friday at 1 pm, Wendy Evers, SDSU’s senior director of program development, will be speaking on a panel about green jobs in San Diego, focusing on “How and Where to Train for a Green Job.”

For those of you interested in the growing green energy industry, the College of Extended Studies is offering two new courses you may want to check out. Starting Sept. 21, you can explore whether a green job is for you in Introduction to Renewable Energy, a top-level overview of the emerging renewable energy field. Or come learn the lay of the land in the fast-growing sustainability field – from best practices, to review policies, laws, codes, and standards – in Overview of Sustainability, also kicking off Sept. 21.

In October, they’ll be rolling out two more classes, so head over there to learn cutting-edge Green Solutions for the Home, or build valuable knowledge in Converting to Renewable Energy, a growing source of green jobs nationwide.
