Hello my name is Elizabeth Christy and I am the Education Programs Manager here at USGBC California. I work for both the Training and Programs team as they often have a lot of overlap. The Training team provides professional development, access to green career pathways, continuing education credits and access to the latest green technology, data and information. Some exciting new things we are rolling out this fall include: 

  1. The Learning Center launched for our Wildfire Defense Training to deliver courses online. Soon all our Professional development courses will be delivered through the Learning Center.  

  2. Request For Proposal or RFP, for statewide training delivery partners launching in September. 

  3. In person tours of homes retrofitted for Wildfire Defense. Sign up here to participate in the tour on 9/27. 
  4. Envision SP Certification for Sustainable Infrastructure. This two day training with Stacy Sinclair is being offered at a special price for our community! 
  5. New courses like Sustainable Production for Entertainment Certificate

  6. Cursos en Español, Wildfire Defense and Extreme Heat trainings recently translated and rolled out in Spanish. 

  7. Career Center for professional development resources. 

  8. Green Jobs Page, updated regularly with green jobs of all levels and industry. 

  9. Continuing education credits available for most trainings. Email training@usgbc-ca.org to ask more about CEU credits. 

  10. Professional Directory to access certified and trained professionals in the green building industry.

We are thrilled to be working with statewide training delivery partners and mapping out sustainability career pathways across all of California! We look forward to seeing you in our next training.
