  1. Working for a Sustainable Future Green Workforce Development: Preparing Angelinos for Green Jobs that Promote the Green Economy in Los Angeles Presented by Marcy Drummond Vice President of Academic Affairs Los Angeles Trade-Technical College April 16, 2008

  2. Working for a Sustainable Future GREEN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Providing adequate numbers of prepared, skilled individuals for green jobs in green businesses necessary to promote the green economy.

  3. Defining the “Green” Economy “A rapidly growing billion-dollar sector that includes renewable energy sources, organic produce and products, green buildings, alternative fuel vehicles, and more.” Source: Ella Baker Center for Human Rights. ellabakercenter.org/page.php

  4. Defining a “Green” Business “Businesses that develop new technology that spans a broad range of products, services, and processes that lower performance costs, reduce or eliminate negative ecological impact, and improve the productive and responsible use of natural resources.” Source: Cleantech Group, LLC. http://cleantechnetwork.com/index.cfm?pageSRC=CleantechDefined

  5. Defining a “Green” Business Includes “related business activities that either support the wide-spread application of new technologies such as solar system installations or apply new technologies as service providers for instance in emissions monitoring.” Source: Henton, D. Melville, J. Grose, T, & Maor, G. (2008). Clean Technology and the Green Economy.

  6. Defining “Green” Jobs "Green jobs are family-supporting, middle-skill jobs in the primary sectors of a clean-energy economy -- efficiency, renewables, and alternative transportation and fuels."

  7. Working for a Sustainable Future DEMAND for a “Green” Workforce

  8. Working for a Sustainable Future America’s growing green economy faces a looming labor shortage in sectors like manufacturing, construction, and utilities.

  9. Working for a Sustainable Future The National Renewable Energy Lab has identified a shortage of skills and training as a leading barrier to renewable energy and energy efficiency growth.

  10. Working for a Sustainable Future This labor shortage is only likely to get more severe as baby-boomers skilled in current energy technologies retire.

  11. Working for a Sustainable Future For example in the energy sector about 55% of the workforce, nationwide, is over the age of 45. Many of these workers will either retire or prepare to retire within the next 10 years. Source: Drummond, Marcy (2008). Los Angeles utility sector: Workforce Needs and Challenges. Regional Economic Development Institute, Los Angeles Trade-Technical College.

  12. Working for a Sustainable Future In Los Angeles, employment stability will also result from the retirement of much of the energy industry’s workforce. It is estimated that nearly 8,000 trades-related jobs will need to be filled in the next 5 years due to retirements. Source: Drummond, Marcy (2008).
