The Green Technology
Institute, Inc., a non-profit public benefit organization, has organized a coalition of companies to educate and training the next generation of green collar workforce and eco-entrepreneurs to build the green circle economy. 
 
The Green Technology
Institute and its partners are industry seasoned veterans of the various technologies needed to create and sustain the Green Technology Revolution.  The Institute has established a Greentech Center for Excellence where workforce training as well as eco-entrepreneurial development will incubated at the Center. These Center will become a template that will be replicated in many cities across the Nation.    

These training & innovation showcase centers will incorporate the technologies exhibited  at the Audubon Center at Debs Park in Los Angeles, a net zero-energy, Platinum LEED certified building in downtown Los Angeles whose mission is educate students about living symbiotically between humanity and the natural environment.
 
Twenty-first-century
students must be prepared to think globally in the Asia Pacific Century as well as act locally to create a sustainable global future.  Jobs and education must be seamlessly integrated throughout childhood to senior citizen. Retraining and education must stay current with economic evolution.
 
We (the people of the future planet) are creating a new green civilization from the ground up and students must be given the tools to become the future leaders for change, leading by example.
 
The Green Technology Institute’s Coalition proposes a multifaceted Green Campus Program that addresses these challenges, takes account of these capabilities, and meets these opportunities.
