Green Collar Jobs Training Program Update (7/10/09)

In the last day of week 4 members of the Green Collar Training Program spent their day at the Hawai‘i Innovation Center in Hilo to get evaluated. Every two weeks the Hawaii State Workforce Development makes the program advisor sit down with the trainees to evaluate their past work. This allows the trainees to learn what they are doing well, and what they can do to improve. It also allows the trainees to get their paychecks!

After the long and tedious task the work day went on with the offline crew going to Garden exchange in Hilo to get an estimate on the price of plants for the Greenhouse at the Green Collar Technologies "classroom" in mountain view. Even though the Green Collar Jobs Training Program doesn't have many finances, it was a good idea to do this estimate to give workers an idea of what the goals are in terms of what plants they should grow in the greenhouse and what their goals are in terms of the funds needed to start and maintain a greenhouse.

Meanwhile, the online sustainability crew worked back at the Hawai‘i Innovation Center completing the everyday tasks of blogging, video editing, and client work.
