Energy Technology Transfer & Workforce Development Webinar
Energy Opportunities to Secure the Economic Vitality of our Region
October 7, 2020 | Time: 10 AM - 11:15 AM PST
A secure and stable energy future depends on an innovative coalition of public and private partners in an interconnected market where instability creates short-term winners and losers. Only the research capabilities of national laboratories and research universities, deployed for the workplace and workforce in a broad public/private alliance, have the potential to both hedge against short-term volatility and create long-term stability.
Join the Kern Community College District, Bakersfield College, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the County of Kern for a community discussion on the innovative strategies and workforce opportunities for the region.
