Over 500 high school students have pre-registered through www.tc3.edu to visit from 8:30 am until 12 noon. There will be something for everyone: from an internship at Cornell in LEED-certified building design, to Ithaca Biodiesel's "veggie car;" from compostable skateboards to solar-powered wine. On November 5, discover our region's emerging green economy. Over 35 regional exhibitors will promote careers in various sectors of sustainability including energy efficiency, renewable energy, alternative transportation, green buildings and products, local farms and food, and organizations promoting the "4Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Resell or Recycle." The event's purpose is to introduce area youth to a more resilient and sustainable economy that relies on renewable energy and regional resources. At the Fair, they'll learn about which skills they'll need to prepare for this new trend, and how to find training programs, internships and career opportunities in it. They'll discover inspirational role models and innovative products. At the same time, businesses and organizations will meet the young members of their potential work force.
