Green Collar jobs Training Program Update (6/22/09)

At the beginning of Week 2 the online trainees assessed their progress on the web. Using the Google Analytics program, it was found that visits to the Green Collar Technologies website were up and on average viewers were spending more time on the site. This might suggest that people are becoming more interested about green collar jobs, sustainable options, and opportunities here on Hawai‘i Island. This is also one of the intentions of the online crew's efforts. However, there is room for improvement and that only comes with more experience on the Internet.

Outside of the office, the offline crew gained knowledge, skill and experience with building Earthships. In the picture below, workers (from left) Dominic, Sandy, Dylan, and Leroy take a moment to smile before working with Tom Hansen. Tom is the owner of this Earthship that is located in the Nanawale sub-division of the Puna district.
