Outreach and Partnerships
As part of Project Green, and its goal to reach out to the community, MATC is hosting the 2009 Wisconsin Renewable Energy Summit.
The Wisconsin Renewable Energy Summit (WRES) was initiated by the Wisconsin Technical College System in the spring of 2004. The 16 colleges foreshadowed their increasing interest and involvement in renewables, green practices and sustainables, as well as energy efficiency education by presenting the Summit. The Summit has expanded its original offerings to reflect the increasing national interest in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.
The 2009 Summit includes expanded offerings: traditional renewables, bio-industry, water resources, carbon capture and sequestration, green transportation, energy efficiency, sustainable technologies and quality practices, green career pathways, workshops and training short courses, and greening practices for colleges.
This year’s theme, Green Business – Unlimited Economic Opportunity, focuses on how the growth of renewable energy businesses – and existing businesses exploring this market shift – will generate new economic opportunities in Wisconsin.
