NETWORKS hosts FREE Online Webinars covering various topics in advanced technology education. A Webinar is a seminar, a workshop, or a lecture administered through the computer where participants and presenter can interact together. It is not just a one-way presentation, but a two-way connection between presenter and attendees. The Webinars will be conducted through Elluminate, a virtual meeting room accessible through any computer system. Participants will be awarded a certificate of attendance upon request.
Presenters: John Carrese, Center Director, San Francisco Center of Excellence and Daryl Hatano, Vice President for Public Policy,
Semiconductor Industry Association
Length: 90 minutes
Description: Modern society runs on electricity, and as standards of living increase worldwide, electricity represents the fastest growing form of energy use. This growth, coupled with ongoing advances in technology, presents significant opportunities to rethink the way we produce, utilize, and manage electricity. By some estimates, we can increase currently available electric energy up to 20% through "smart" management and devices. Technology related to electricity utilization can be thoughtfully integrated into a broad range of technician and technology education programs.
Mr. Carrese will focus on workforce needs and demands in the energy efficiency sector. He will present his center's study of the firms in the Bay Area that hire energy efficiency workers in technical occupations, and report on the projected job growth for these occupations and the workforce needs and challenges of employers. In addition, he will identify college programs related to energy efficiency occupations and discuss how results from his region may be translated across the country.
Mr. Hatano will describe the industry's views of the opportunities in the energy efficiency area. He will also discuss the challenges and issues raised by public policy and government initiatives to promote this sector.
