Welcome to the Green Academy

Our courses, programs and degree opportunities have grown since the Academy was started in March 2009, just as the opportunities in these exciting renewable and alternative energy/energy efficiency fields have grown.  Whether you are starting your working life, transitioning to a new field of work or desire to stay up-to-date on the latest technology and trends in your career field, we have options for you!

We now offer an Associate of Applied Science degree in Energy Management.  Non-credit options include certificate programs for Electric Power Technology and Solar Photovoltaics.  We are very excited about the work completed on the state-of-the-art Solar Training Yard at our Meadowbrook Campus. This provides even more hands-on learning opportunities for students.

There are many other courses and continuing professional development opportunities that provide skills and knowledge to prepare students for emerging opportunities in ‘green’ technologies. 

Students enrolling in the Green Academy can focus on a specific area or learn about a variety of topics and career paths. Students also have access to state of the art training equipment for hands-on, experiential learning.

Our courses were developed with input from industry and are designed to meet current and emerging market needs.  Our instructors are professionals with extensive backgrounds and experience in their field who share their real-world skills and knowledge with students.  

The certificates and programs we offer continue to grow so be sure to check back frequently to see the latest we have to offer including course dates and times.

Some programs require experience in a related field.

STEP AHEAD with SLCC ~ leading the way in offering courses for joining or advancing in one of these growing and exciting 'green industry' jobs. 

Much of the Green Academy training is based upon work supported by the U. S Department of Energy under Award Number DE-OE0000457 and DE-OE0000458.
