This Partnerships for Innovation (PFI) project is a Type III (A:C) partnership between University of Toledo, an NSF PFI graduate (0227899), and several institutions new to the PFI Program (defined as ones that have never been PFI grantees): Central State University, Hocking College, Lakeland Community College, Owens Community College, and Terra Community College. The project seeks to create a model for developing courses, certification programs, stackable certificates, and associate degree programs throughout the State of Ohio in advanced energy. Ohio universities, under the leadership of the Governor?s Energy Advisor, banded together to form the University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio in 2007 to promote advanced energy research. In addition, the state has leading alternative energy companies and a renewable energy portfolio standard that promise job opportunities for the future. A ready and trained workforce is needed to support renewable energy companies as well as trained and ready trades people to install solar, wind, and other systems. The project involves university research and incubation centers to provide guidance for the development of new courses and programs in anticipation of the development and commercialization of new energy systems (e.g., rooftop building integrated PV systems. The project will bring new knowledge on advanced energy technologies to community and technical colleges so that new courses and programs can be developed. It will develop a statewide model for university engagement to transform an "old industrial region" into a leader in a new technology intensive industry. The project draws upon the experience of a previously successful PFI project as well as the statewide support of the primary organizational partner, University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio.The project aims to take Ohio universities toward a more "developmental role" in transforming the statewide economy and creating high paying job opportunities. The project involves Central State University, an HBCU, and gives special attention to developing opportunities for participation of underrepresented groups. The results of the project will be broadly disseminated in Ohio and nationally through presentations, press releases, involvement of state leaders, and professional and technical publications.Partners at the inception of the project are Academic Institutions: University of Toledo (lead institution), Central State University, Hocking College, Lakeland Community College, Owens Community College, Terra Community College, and Bowling Green State University; Private Sector (Industry) : Advanced Energy Generation, Engineered Process Systems, FirstEnergy, First Solar, North Coast Wind and Power, Solar Fields (Calyxo), WIRE-Net (Great Lakes Wind Network) and Xunlight; Private Sector (Non Profit): University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio; and State Government: Ohio Board of Regents.

这项创新合作伙伴关系（PFI）项目是III型（A：C）托莱多大学，NSF PFI毕业生（0227899）之间的合作伙伴关系，以及PFI计划的几个机构（定义为PFI Grantees的定义为PFI Grantees）：从未成为PFI Grantees）：中央州立大学，Hocking College College，Lakeland Collision Collegnion，lakens Collisial Collision，Terra collen Collisy，Terra coners，Terra，敬请纽约大学和盟军。该项目旨在创建一个模型，以开发整个俄亥俄州高级能源州的课程，认证计划，可堆叠的证书和副学士学位计划。 在州长的能源顾问的领导下，俄亥俄州的大学在2007年组成了俄亥俄州大学清洁能源联盟，以促进先进的能源研究。 此外，该州还领先替代能源公司和可再生能源投资组合标准，可以为未来提供就业机会。 需要一支准备好的训练有素的劳动力，以支持可再生能源公司，并培训并准备好让人们安装太阳能，风和其他系统。 The project involves university research and incubation centers to provide guidance for the development of new courses and programs in anticipation of the development and commercialization of new energy systems (e.g., rooftop building integrated PV systems.
