Dr. Brenda Hellyer – Harris County
Dr. Brenda Hellyer, Chancellor of San Jacinto College, is keenly aware that companies could create thousands of new jobs to build, maintain, and operate carbon capture and storage in our area. Community colleges and industries are working together to prepare our workforce with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed for careers in CCS and other low-carbon technologies.
