Since last updating you on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on March 4, the number of global cases continues to develop and some smaller outbreaks have occurred in the United States, including California. Currently, the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) reports we have three presumptive cases in Orange County (2 male and 1 female) all of which are travel-acquired, not community-acquired.
The #CaliforniansForAll College Corps program will help create debt-free pathways to college while engaging students across California in solving problems in their communities. Irvine Valley College is proud to be one of 45 new partner campuses for College Corps for this initiative. Over the next two years IVC will partner with Concordia University Irvine and Vanguard University in mobilizing students to engage in areas of K-12 Education, Food Insecurity, and Climate Action.
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.
