Project Details

• The one-pagers will be put up on bulletin

boards and given to career service offices on

campus

• They’ll also be shared with the other Green

Campuses, in particular ELAC and LASC which

are sister Green Campuses in the LACCD

• By publicizing this information and making

these educational flyers widely available, this

will bring more attention to green jobs and

show students tangible next steps they can

take in pursuing a green career
