California is targeting a just and equitable energy transition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045.
That means removing as much carbon from the atmosphere as the state produces. In the San Diego and southern Orange County region, SDG&E and many local cities also embrace carbon neutrality as their goal.
To stimulate community engagement and economywide collaboration to achieve our shared climate goals, SDG&E will be releasing an analysis on how to decarbonize the economy while also prioritizing electric grid reliability, affordability and equity. The Path to Net Zero: A Decarbonization Roadmap for California lays out specific recommendations for the state to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045

Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and Partners - Opportunities for Corporate Involvement: SDNEDC and Partners Launch Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning
|
|
One of the biggest challenges holding back North County’s economy is the difficulty many companies face finding and recruiting talent. With unemployment in the region standing at 4.6% and with even more pronounced shortages in fields that require technical proficiencies, it is among the most important issues that SDNEDC will be addressing in 2022.
Part of that effort will center around SOCAL (Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning), a collaborative project between Tri-City Medical Center, SDNEDC, and 6 chambers (Encinitas, Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos & Escondido). The goal of SOCAL is to raise awareness among young adults about different careers they might not know about and provide some of the resources and educational pathways that can help them pursue the opportunities.
Should your company be interested in participating as we build out the library, please contact admin@encinitaschamber.com. We have attractive sponsorship packages that will produce three videos of different team members and then elevate the visibility of various job postings and opportunities at your firm. The goal of SOCAL is to have 100 different North County workers highlighted by the end of the year.
