This fall, Wisconsin’s Mid-State Technical College will be offering three new renewable energy degree programs. These will include biorefinery technology, renewable electricity technician and renewable thermal energy technician training. Ronald Zillmer, associate dean of MSTC’s technical and industrial division hopes the courses are the beginning of new trend in green energy education. “The college is investing in programs for jobs that will be here 100 years from now. This is not a short-term endeavor; folks feeling the effects of globalization and being displaced from their jobs are looking for stability.”

CCC: These professions are needed TODAY! One can self-school via books/online, as well as apprentice with experienced doers. The "big gov" mostly promotes big business/big projects, but this kind of profession, from the Energy Auditor to the Insulation/home energy improvements to passive solar heat and solar electric consulting and install* (*would need plumbing/electrical license for pro jobs) are all doable.
Be a GREEN COLLAR entrepreneur!
Earn a living doing good, what you love/enjoy, because you care.
