Development which minimizes the impact on natural resources is critical to the economic future of Oregon and Southwest Washington. The region now finds itself at a critical crossroads facing challenges of managing population growth in a way that preserves the environment and maintains the beauty and high quality of life that is central to that of the Pacific Northwest values and economy. Technical workers are needed for the growing workforce in sustainability which encompasses alternative energy technicians, landscape and natural resource managers, building design, construction and manufacturing technicians to meet the regions demands of a sustainability workforce. Portland Community College and many partner institutions and businesses have developed a Sustainability Training for Technical Educators project.The project helps ensure that the participating educators understand how sustainability relates to their STEM fields and how to integrate the science of sustainability through issues, case studies and green alternatives in their course laboratories and practices.Industry standards and workplace competencies relating to sustainability are taught across the curriculum in courses within the science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. The three main focus area for the project center around; 1) A Summer Sustainability Institute for high school and college level faculty; 2) An industry internship program for faculty and; 3) The development of a community of faculty, industry and business representatives working together to move the region Green.

最大限度地减少对自然资源影响的发展对俄勒冈州和西南华盛顿的经济未来至关重要。 该地区现在正处于一个关键的十字路口，面临着管理人口增长的挑战，以保护环境和保持美丽和高质量的生活，这是太平洋西北地区价值观和经济的核心。技术工人需要不断增长的可持续发展劳动力，其中包括替代能源技术人员，景观和自然资源管理人员，建筑设计，建筑和制造技术人员，以满足该地区对可持续发展劳动力的需求。波特兰社区学院和许多合作机构和企业开发了一个技术教育者可持续性培训项目。该项目有助于确保参与的教育工作者了解可持续性如何与他们的STEM领域相关，以及如何通过问题，案例研究和绿色替代品在他们的课程实验室和实践。行业标准和工作场所的能力有关的可持续性教授在科学、技术、工程和数学学科的课程中。 该项目的三个主要重点领域围绕：1）高中和大学教师的夏季可持续发展研究所; 2）教师的行业实习计划; 3）教师，行业和企业代表共同努力推动该地区的发展绿色。
