ReEnergize Texas Summit Recap and RESA Workshop

Filed under: Uncategorized — twocrowseeing @ 4:36 pm

The ReEnergize Texas Summit was amazing photos, videos, blog  posts and more are forthcomming on the ReEnergize Texas Blog. But for now you can check out some pics of the summit at RTx’s  Flickr photostream if you have pics to share you can upload them at RTs’ Flickr pool.

The workshop that RESA lead was called:

What are Green Jobs? How Can I Get One? How I Can I Help My Campus Start a Green Jobs Training Program?

The workshop explored one of the most widely-used catch phrases in politics today: green jobs. Hear from students and faculty in the nationally renowned renewable energy program at Austin Community College. Learn what green jobs are, how you can make your career a green one and better yet, how you can help start a green jobs training program on your campus.

Here are some pics from the workshop (click pics to view larger):

The Workshop was a huge success and I would like to thank Hector Aguilar (ACC) and Ron Modesty (Capital Idea) for being on the panel, as well as Noralinda Ureste and Shayna Lee (RESA).
