GOV. SCHWARZENEGGER ANNOUNCES NATION'S LARGEST STATE-SPONSORED GREEN JOBS TRAINING PROGRAM - September 1, 2009 Tuesday 4:31 PM EST - Building Design & Construction:

"On behalf of the Los Angeles Trade Technical College I am very pleased to welcome all of you, obviously, to our college today as I said, this is the first day of the fall semester and to see firsthand why Trade-Tech is recognized as the community colleges' leader in clean and green workforce development. The tour today, in particular, was directed by our Dean of Academic Affairs and Workforce Development Leticia Barajas. Raise your hand there so we can you behind us. OK, and our Vice President for Workforce Development Marcy Drummond. So we want to thank them for that.

The tour was taken in one of our laboratories for the Alternative Fuels, Hybrid Technology and Low Emission Vehicle Technology Programs. In these programs students learn how to troubleshoot and repair new and emerging green or clean fuels technologies such as CNG, compressed gas, bio-diesel, LNG, ethanol and hybrids, where they learn the latest clean air technologies such as diesel, opacity testing and emission control devices."
