National Environmental Education Training Program

earth energy Solutions GROUP and the EPA supports environmental education training for Facilities managers, Engineers, teachers and other educational professionals.

Current Training Program

EPA recently awarded a 5-year cooperative agreement to Cornell University  for the Extending Capacity in Environmental Education Project (EE Capacity). EECapacity supports environmental education and youth and community development in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico.  It is working on linking two groups of professionals: (1) established environmental educators who have developed nationally recognized guidelines and curricula and (2) an emerging group of grassroots, urban environmental educators, who focus on environmental restoration and stewardship, community and youth development, and social justice, and who work along city streets, in community gardens, and in other small open spaces in cities.  EECapacity seeks to answer the question: ”What is the face of environmental education in an increasingly urban and diverse society?”

Through a series of workshops, online courses, professional learning communities, and social networking opportunities, EECapacity is bringing established and urban environmental educators together to exchange ideas and resources, and form expanded social networks.  As innovative environmental education practices emerge through this exchange among diverse professionals, EECapacity will share and test them.  In this way, EECapacity participants will help to define the face of environmental education in an increasingly urban and diverse society.

Education and Professional Development

To pursue a clean energy career, you may need general as well as specialized training. A number of colleges and universities now offer specializations in various clean energy fields, or even full degree programs. Community colleges can also be a great resource if you want to get certified for a particular trade or get a two-year degree with clean energy credentials. And, many other organizations offer courses and seminars on energy efficiency and renewable energy topics—in some cases for free. Check out the links featured here to find programs or courses that meet your needs and interests.

• Colleges and universities with degree programs or specializations in clean energy fields
• Community colleges and training centers that offer two-year degrees or certificates for jobs in the expanding field of energy efficiency and renewable energy
• Other training and courses, such as individual seminars on clean energy topics; see also our Related Links page for training information for specific technologies like solar or energy efficiency in buildings

DOE and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program announced on February 16 up to $1.3 million for training centers of excellence. The programs provide commercial building professionals with critical skills needed to optimize building efficiency, reduce waste, and save money. The programs will help reach the Better Buildings Initiative goal of improving energy efficiency nationwide in commercial and industrial buildings by 20% by 2020, reducing energy costs by nearly $40 billion, and creating jobs. See the DOE press release and the funding opportunity information.

earth energy Solutions GROUP works with Institutions, Commercial and Government offices to further education enabling the growth and creative stimulus of new and more energy efficient technologies.
