This list contains examples of existing community college programs with a focus on energy efficiencies and clean energy generation. It is not the definitive list that will be used to determine a programs eligibility to qualify for program improvement funds provided by the grant. That list will be created by the consortia members.
Based on extensive labor market analysis, the RFA places a priority on occupations in the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors of energy efficiency and clean energy generation, although other occupations in these sectors may be targeted in response to industry needs and grant applicant documentation. See the reference section for additional information on energy related jobs and Labor Market Information (LMI).
This Proposition 39 Clean Energy Workforce Program supports the following objectives for building the energy efficiency workforce:
The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative approved by the voters as Proposition 39 at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election, made changes to corporate income taxes and provides for the transfer of $550,000,000 annually from the General Fund to the Clean Energy Job Creation Fund for five (5) years beginning with the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Irvine Valley College has truly embraced the Caring Campus culture. From administration and faculty to campus police and Classified professionals, everyone enjoys engaging in the outreach and support to our students and campus community. The links below showcase our Caring Campus efforts even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting Fall 2019 through Spring 2020, Classified professionals representing departments and services from across the campus participated in three in-person coaching sessions with IEBC’s President and CEO Brad Phillips. During these sessions, our Classified identified and developed departmental and college-wide behavioral commitments to strengthen student connection and academic success.
Developed by the Institute for Evidence-Based Change (IEBC), Irvine Valley College (IVC) Classified Senate embarked on IEBC’s Caring Campus nationwide initiative in the Fall of 2019. Caring Campus acknowledges the central role that Classified professionals play in making students feel welcome on campus and helping them stay on their educational paths. Additionally, it shows the pivotal role that administrators play in supporting classified professionals in student engagement work.
Nearly 200 strong, IVC employs dedicated classified professionals from a variety of services ready to assist students, campus and community. Below is a snapshot of some of our many caring colleagues.
