Training

There's much work to be done to bring employers, employees, students and career changers up to speed on the benefits of sustainability. To that end, we've created several workshops that can be customized for various audiences and delivered on-site around the state, and we're interested in partnering to offer even more. 

We're currently working on a mentoring program to introduce emerging green builders to the wide world of sustainable design and green, high performance building.
