    As we focus on the future of green building, it is abundantly clear that we must educate, train and advocate to build a strong, resilient pipeline of green building leaders. There is a growing challenge in attracting new talented employees and training them in the skills and knowledge needed to design, build and operate sophisticated, healthy and efficient buildings. Efforts taken in the present to engage with students, local municipalities and underserved communities will address these challenges and benefit the green building industry for years to come. This session will explore how USGBC partners are developing innovative approaches to supporting the future green economy. Each community has focused on unique ways of supporting the growing labor market and addressing important topics related to equity, climate change, and local building mandates. Learn from USGBC partners who address the power of analyzing climate goals and growth in the workforce market as a strategy for overcoming barriers, implementing education programs and developing strong local partnerships.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand how to meet climate goals by creating and implementing proper training programs.
    • Participants will be able to communicate the value of local support and partnerships to push how communities implement climate action.
    • Understand the importance of creating equitable training opportunities for students, building operators and facility staff.
    • Participants will learn how to align local and regional plans with the standards and best practices of Green Building Education programs.
