GBL Certified Green Consultant Programs
There are three parts to our training program. The fist is the Pre-Class material that is sent to each student once they enroll in one of our classes. This is for orientation and to provoke your thinking. The three-day Live Class is a fast-paced presentation of general and topic subjects that will make you "knowledgeable" on nearly every environmental topic. Finally, you will participate in a year long training and support program designed to round out your education.
The final day of the live class is how to market your business as a Green consultant. This is something missing is nearly any educational program. The "How To" part is very important, and your success is very important to more than the Green Business League. Every consultant is, frankly, an agent of change in their community. Learning to the Green Goto Person in your community will not happen because you are well educated,but from the fact that you press this information into a real program of community Greening. Here are some of the ideas that we will share on the last day of training:
- Building a Green Business Network
- Establishing Green Communities
- How to work with Civic Leaders
- Referrals from the Green Supply Chain
- Green Awareness Training
- Green Officer Training
- How to properly Market your Business
Let's be honest. We know that the environmental issue is a growing tsunami of global threat. We also know that most people have only a minimal knowledge of what to do. Governments are pushing this agenda strongly, and world population has more than doubled and will soon triple from the 1950's era. Limited resources and increased demand means that change must happen, and those who understand these dynamics also know that this market is unstoppable.
Take note that Executive Order #13514 has just be signed in late 2009. This important mandate now applies to government agencies, but represents a harbinger of what is to come for all American businesses. The need for a Green or Sustainability adviser is obvious, and the creation of a Sustainability Plan is a product that you can now readily produce.
