about the green college initiative
Community Colleges have long been recognized as key partners in economic and workforce development and will be undoubtedly be called upon to play an integral role in helping to foster the state's and Los Angeles' green goals and to significantly contribute to the rapid expansion of the new energy economy by supplying the requisite, skilled workforce. However, community colleges also can and should play an integral role in creating the new energy economy through
green-related policy, education, and practices. Los Angeles Trade-Technical College seeks to be a significant contributor in this regard by (1) creating the demand side of the green economy through green building practices and by operating "Green Businesses Within a College" employing policies and practices that meet clean and green standards and (2) providing the supply side of the green economy by developing and implementing education training and degree programs for high growth, high-demand, and emerging green-related industries and occupations.
In fall 2006, Los Angeles Trade-Technical College's College Council approved the adoption of a Green College Initiative.
