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!
