Green Jobs Campaign
If the jobs of the future will be in "Green-Tech," then where are all the Women?
When the 2009-2010 "Women In Green Jobs" campaign was launched, ONLY 1 IN EVERY TEN ACC Students in "Green Tech" was a woman! The Campaign was made possible by the U.S. Department of Labor - Women's Bureau, with the goal of doubling the number of women enrolling in Green Tech at ACC. Check-out the: US Dept. of Labor's "Green Guide for Women".

Texas remains at the forefront of the nation's energy industry. The total renewable energy "resources" in Texas, outstrip every other State! Energy from sunshine falling on a single acre of land in West Texas, is capable of producing the energy equivalent of 800 barrels of oil - each year. The future of Green Tech Jobs in Texas - looks BRIGHT.
This Project made possible through support from the U.S. Department of Labor - Women's Bureau.
