An Edison International (EIX) company, Southern California Edison or SCE said that it has launched a $1 million Green Jobs Education Initiative to fund sustainable or "green" education and job training at 10 California community colleges.
"The Green Jobs Education Initiative holds the triple crown in our philanthropic portfolio. It will support education programs for college students, encourage environmental sustainability efforts and prepare skilled employees for the growing green jobs workforce," said SCE President John Fielder. "It also has the additional economic benefit of supporting students and colleges facing crippling financial pressures."
SCE said it will provide $100 thousand to each of 10 selected colleges. Each college can then invest these funds in the California Community College Scholarship Endowment to receive an additional $50 thousand match from the endowment's lead benefactor, The Bernard Osher Foundation.
