Green Jobs and Blue Skies

In 2009, the San Francisco Bay and Greater Silicon Valley Centers of Excellence studied eight energy efficiency occupations that are most relevant to community colleges.

This environmental scan’s findings are based on survey responses from more than 700 firms that hire energy efficiency workers in the 12-county Bay Area. Employers are projected to add as many as 13,000 new jobs over the next three years in this cluster of occupations.

The Centers of Excellence continue to research energy efficiency occupations in California. In the next few months, an overview of the statewide results and additional regional scans will be released.
