Green Background & Context
Public Policy Driving Green Job Growth
• California’s Global Warming Solutions Actof 2006
• American Recovery and Reinvestment Actof 2009 (ARRA)
The Challenge• Ambiguous definitions of the green
economy with varying scopes and purpose.

Value to Colleges and Stakeholders
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Understanding the Green Economy
Phase I: Provide a research-based framework to assist Community College administrators and faculty in studying what “green” is in terms of industries, occupations and educational programs.
1. Defining:-green industry-green occupation
3a. Building a crosswalk between green industries & traditional industries (NAICS codes)
2a. Identifying emerging green industries (using existing literature)
3b. Building a crosswalk b/w green industries, green occupations & traditional occupations (SOC codes)
2b. Identifying emerging green occupations (using existing literature)
3c. Identifying the relationship between College programs (TOP codes) & green occupations
4. Validating industry & occupational crosswalks with panel of experts
5. Final Report (June 2009)
Partnership with CA Labor Market Information Department (LMID)
