Industry


1 Victoria Koehler-Jones, PhD., editor and Jessica Wemett, Research Assistant. 2 http://doingwhatmatters.cccco.edu/ResourceMap.aspx3 “Sector” as used here is an economic term that refers to a segment of an industry and not to a DWM administrative “sector” like “Sector Navigator”.

Summary data developed and reported by Time Structures, Inc., from the

Cleantech Group’s i3 Data Base on rapidly growing and innovative clean

technology companies in ten California Community Colleges Doing What

Matters Regions.2 Unlike LMID or COE data which attempts to count all

green technology companies in California, this data is a purposive sample

of clean technology start-ups, small, medium and large companies currently

innovating new clean technologies and are seeking, are or have received

new funding to perfect their ideas or to grow. The i3 Data Base is constantly

updated. This critical information is relevant to colleges providing workforce

training to this rapidly innovating sector3, to investors, to companies

seeking acquisitions, or that are move toward market entry. These comp

anies are most likely to drive each region’s clean technology sector’s

development and to create new jobs faster than the majority of companies

in this sector. For ATRE, this data provides a high-pay-off base for a forward

looking job training strategy in each region.

The i3 Data Base identified 2,147 rapidly growing companies in California

on March 31, 2014 in the eighteen clean energy sectors (detailed definitions

are provided below): advanced materials, agriculture and forestry,

air (removal of pollutants and greenhouse gases), biofuels, biomass

generation, conventional fuels, energy efficiency, energy storage, fuel cells

and hydrogen, geothermal, hydro and marine power, nuclear (not counted

here), recycling and waste, smart grid, solar, transportation, water and

wastewater, and wind. The following regional graphs report the number of

companies, number of employees, and financing received for companies

reporting data to Cleantech i3 Data Base. (Additional data is available from

Time Structures, Inc., by county.)

The seven Doing What Matters regions with companies reporting i3 data are:

1. Greater Sacramento: El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba Counties;

ATRE Deputy Sector Navigators (DSNs)

Is your college already in one of these regions? San Francisco Bay Area Inland Empire, Desert Region LA/Orange County Region San Diego/Imperial Region

If so, contact the DSN in your region directly. To find out what programs they have to offer.

If you are NOT in one of these regions, download an EOT (Educational Opportunity Template) from the ATRE website – www.atreeducation.org. (This document is available on the homepage and throughout the site.)

Start preparing for this new opportunity. We’ll help you create a pathway to work with industry through your region. By completing the EOT checklist template, you will identify your champions, identify your funding, get stakeholder buy in, and be fully prepared to take this forward to your Regional Chair for consideration.

Finally, contact Peter Davis, Statewide Sector Navigator for more information. If you see a connection with your ATRE goals and manufacturing, agriculture, water, international trade, health, small business, biotech, or information technology – we can also help. I’ll help you open a dialog with your Regional Chair, deans or industry agencies to complete the circuit!
