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
