he South Orange County Community College District is at the forefront of change. With much of the future growth of jobs shifting to South County, our Colleges are playing a critical role in keeping Orange County competitive. With a focus on technology, we have a direct impact on Orange County’s ability to attract, cultivate and retain the region’s workforce.

According to the economic and workforce projections of the Orange County Business Council, at least one third of future jobs will demand skills in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The biggest numerical growth projected to occur is in business and professional services and health services. There is also a need to increase English proficiency.

Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Irvine Valley College in Irvine and the Advanced Technology & Education Park (ATEP) in Tustin are ready to help Orange County meet these challenges.

The Board of Trustees of the South Orange County Community College District has demonstrated Change is becoming a constant in visionary leadership with approval of an American society, and as educational unprecedented investment in capital construction, “ building renovation and technology.

The panels, which cover the campuses that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of 12,000 square-foot south roof, produce an average of 66 kilowatts of electricity, and are capable of producing up to 165 kilowatts of energy future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable practices on each campus under ideal conditions. The gymnasium is one of the biggest consumers include: hazardous waste management, building insulation, waste recycling, cogeneration, of power on the campus, according to IVC Facilities, Maintenance energy-saving lighting, reclaimed water, solar panels and cool roofs. and Operations Manager Philip Brittain. Along with additional heating, air-conditioning and ventilation improvements that have been made campus-wide, the solar panels save the College up to $1,000 a day in Cogenerating Savings at Saddleback College cooling costs alone.

Saddleback College Director of Facilities John Ozurovich reports that since installing a 1.5 megawatt cogeneration plant that produces over 8.5 million kilowatt hours per year, the College has saved approximately $480,000 per year on its energy bills. The heat generated by this process is utilized to supply thermal energy to the College’s swimming Instant Connection pool and building interiors. Through the use of other energy-savings methods, the ® utility budget is reduced by another $150,000 per year, bringing annual energy savings Cell phones, instant messaging, iPods, wireless laptop and to $630,000. The College is currently planning for additional energy conservation notebook computers—Saddleback, IVC and ATEP students, faculty measures that are projected to save another $250,000 per year in the near future. and staff can connect anywhere on campus at any time thanks to a district-wide technology and infrastructure upgrade in 2006-2007. An increased emphasis on online learning, e-learning and virtual classrooms also means that all three SOCCCD campuses can respond to a growing number of student needs for non-traditional training and education.
