2011 Clean Energy Workforce Education Conference

Don’t miss the fourth national conference on educating the renewable energy and energy efficiency workforce. Mark your calendars for March 2011 and be part of the one national event that brings together innovative educators who are training today’s green workforce.

This event offers the most current information on instructional strategies, curricula development, credentialing, and best practices for training in the renewable energy and energy efficiency fields.

The two-day conference will present some of the best approaches and teaching models underway at community colleges, technical high schools, skill centers, the trades, industry and other training centers and organizations across the country. The conference will be preceded by one day of technical workshops, followed by two days packed with information for those offering or planning training programs (degree granting, certification, continuing education, public education, etc.) for the renewable energy and energy efficiency markets.

Don’t miss out on the chance to network with other instructors, educational centers, and industry experts.  The 2011 primary conference sponsor is the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA);  IREC is the conference organizer.
