GREEN ENERGY COUNCIL - ATLANTA: Green Training for the World

In August 2009, the Green Energy Council offered its first courses in Atlanta. Attendees were both eager to learn more and very motivated to help this organization take root in Atlanta. As a result, the GEC Atlanta Ambassadors For Change was formed and has organized the next GEC Green Job Corps live training courses in Atlanta on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at the Holiday Inn Downtown Atlanta (across from Centennial Park), 101 Andrew Young Blvd., Atlanta, GA 30303. The following courses will be offered to the public with a 20% discount if taken together:
