The Sustainability Education Center (SEC) is envisioned to be Anaheim Public Utilities’ educational demonstration center that incorporates technology, sustainability, and workforce development programs.
APU has played an active role in supporting student engagement efforts, including mentoring, internships, and career symposiums. The SEC is envisioned to take another step to support our community by providing pathways for even more students to learn about sustainable utility careers.
Additionally, the state of California is moving towards a carbon-free future, and we are well on our way to 2045 where our power resources will move away from fossil fuels. Sustainability is increasingly a topic of concern to our youth, residents, and businesses.
Site Information
The preliminary concept currently consists of a single-story structure of about 6,000 square feet and is subject to change as part of the design process.
The SEC will be located on Vermont Avenue and Rose Place, on a parcel already owned by APU, and will be centrally located and close to dozens of schools within several miles of the site.
While today we offer tours to our various facilities, having interactive displays to complement indoor and outdoor classrooms will integrate learning opportunities with career planning for those interested in college degrees, as well as for those who may be more mechanically inclined and can benefit from understanding the future of craft positions.
