klcc_publicradio_logoBeggars or Jobs for Eugene

Audio Responses to questions brought up at the City Club of Eugene public meeting.

Do we have a choice? Can we build a really sustainable community with living-wage jobs supporting our local community? Transportation costs are escalating, so having jobs that provide for the basic needs of shelter, food, clothing and health care will make our city more self-sufficient. Our questions today are: What are those jobs? Do we have the training in place? What about 10 years from now?

Presentation from Roger Ebbage

Direct Q&A:

Q: What are we doing in terms of increasing manufacturing and the training/jobs that go along with it?

Q: Where are the jobs in the private energy industry locally?

Q: Can the LaneCC Energy Program be franchised?

Q: Building on the program and LaneCC graduates, where do students go? Can they be induced to stay Local?

“We do OK with most parts of everyday reality: if someone asked us to guess how much time it'll take to get to the store, or how much a car weighs, or how tall a house is, we'll probably be pretty close. But ask us about energy, and we can be wrong by many orders of magnitude.”
-Clark Williams-Derry
