Rendezvous Keynote: OregonETA Hosted a Panel of "Green" Experts

Our panel of green experts included training programs in Oregon, a representative from the State of Oregon and a local green jobs employer. They shared their information and training programs in the emerging field of "Green Jobs" in Oregon. Learn where Oregon is headed and how we can prepare the workforce to take advantage of the emerging green industries. We've linked to their respective programs.
