Join us November 4, 2009 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm at the California Center for Sustainabilty, 8690 Balboa Ave. San Diego, CA 92123. If you can not make the San Diego session in person, you can join us here online. Even if you do not live in San Diego, you will find the information here of value that may apply to your community.

The top city for green employment over the past year is Washington DC, other top 10 cities are those with aggressive green business incentives and policies: the San Francisco Bay area, New York, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Portland, Oregon and Burlington, Vermont. The top 20 cities include Houston, Madison, Wisconsin, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego in California, and Philadelphia.

Officials conclude that although there have been fewer green job openings over the past year, there are a wide variety of employment opportunities in many fields and for people of all skill levels. As the economy recovers, expect to see a surge in openings in the various renewable energies, as was seen in previous years. San Diego is well positioned to become a leader in Green employment.

San Diego now has more rooftop solar panels than any other city in California. Officials say the number of solar panel installations has been steadily climbing in the last ten years, and in the last few years has increased dramatically. San Diego has almost 2,300 solar roofs that together could generate enough energy to power 12,000 homes.

During this mixer John Walker, Co-Founder of Talent Evolution and Green Jobs Consultant for the California Center for Sustainable Energy, will present the education and training opportunities and career opportunity resources available in San Diego.
