AUSTIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Austin Community College made an early commitment to prepare the Austin/RR workforce for a future in "Green Jobs." ACC led the I-35 Corridor (from DFW to S.A.) in planning a "Greening of the Trades." Our award-winning "Campus Sustainability" projects (go to: http://www.austincc.edu/sustainability/index.php), make ACC a leader in Walking-the-Talk! Whether you're interested in Green Biz., Green Construction, Renewable Energy, or Environmental Science...ACC can help. Start Here - Get There...You've Got Options!
We are a national pioneer in Renewable Energy training and certification (NABCEP). ACC has represented the TX State Energy Office-SECO (since 2004) "seeding" Solar Energy training throughout Texas (Solar Train-the-Trainer), and was the only college "demo" site for the US Dept. of Labor Women's Bureau "Women in Green Jobs" Campaign. We offer a wide variety of nationally-funded Workforce Training programs, through Workforce Solutions & partner "pathways-out-of-poverty" NGO's around ATX (Goodwill Industries, American Youthworks, Skillpoint Alliance, Capital Idea). New programs include; Trades Training (Electrical/HVAC/Plumbing at Round Rock & RVS). 2 + 2 B.A.A.S. Degrees in "Sustainable Building" (ONLINE w/Stephen F Austin State University). SMART GRID instruction with the ACC Electronics & Advanced Tech. Program (all located at the ACC Riverside).

AUTO-CAD FOR GREEN DESIGN TRAINING
What is a "Green Job?" Government officials are STILL debating what "qualifies"... but in the mean time, how about getting a job-skill that can bridge the "green-mainstream" career gap, and offers a chance to support some of the most innovative Green Designers?
"AUTO-CAD" (COMPUTER ASSISTED DESIGN) is a popular software family, which includes a whole range of virtual-applied "Drafting" tools. A definate fit for "Creative-IT/Art" types. In recent years the Autodesk "Clean-Tech Partner" Program, has grown to include a whole range of great software offerings for "Green" Architects & Builders... GIS Techs and Inventors. SEE: their LIMITED TIME OFFER on super-cheap "sample" Student softwares ($50) at http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?id=14981616&siteID=123112 .
Austin Community College is the recognized "Auto-Desk Training Center" (ACC Northridge), and folks can gain Certificates in this dynamic program... without even having to attend on-site! Anyone seeking to develop stronger skills for Green Construction/Architecture (i.e. drawing schematics for applied solar/wind), will benefit from ACC-CE programs. Students leave ACC with valuable memberships in Auto-Desk and a lot of free "goodies!" Contact Ashleigh Fuller (CE Auto-CAD Coordinator) at afuller@austincc.edu /512-223-4900. or surf over to their website at: http://cadlearningcenter.com/continuing-education/traditional-courses/.
For small businesses under 100 employees, the Texas Workforce Commission is offering a "Skills Training Grant" via ACC. Funding ranges from $725/year (incumbant employees) to $1450/year (new employees). Go To: www.austincc.edu/smallbiz for details on how to apply. I'd be happy to answer any ???
