Dear sustainability organization leaders,
Please pass the following opportunity along to your members:
How will you get your new green job?
Barack Obama and other U.S. leaders are calling for millions of
new "green" jobs, and a cap-and-trade plan to limit greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. More than 98% of climate change leaders believe
that measuring and accounting for emissions is a critical step
toward managing climate change.
The problem? No university in the country teaches these skills,
which could lead to a workforce shortage that will severely limit
our ability to implement emissions regulations and solve global
climate change.
The solution? Campus Climate Solutions, a new locally-based
company, is proud to announce Gainesville???s first course in GHG
Accounting and Management!
Who should take this course:
*Anyone interested in learning how organizations of all sizes can
become carbon-neutral
*Anyone wishing to gain basic skills in emissions measurement and
management methods *Students, recent graduates and/or current
professionals in any field wishing to expand their expertise and
gain an edge in today???s competitive job market, or those who
wish to help their own organization measure and manage their
emissions.
The course will be taught on Tuesdays, 12pm-2pm, beginning March
31st, and ending May 5th. Classes meet near campus, as SFC???s
Center for Innovation and Economic Development (530 W. University
Ave.). The fee for the course is $290 for the public, but students
who elect to complete a GHG related project can take the class for
just $90. Also, any student who completes our class is guaranteed
an internship with one of our industry partners!
Registration is now open, and space is limited! For more
