Approximately thirty thousand science and engineering doctoral degrees are granted each year; however, very few of these new graduates (outside of the biological sciences) have taken a course in toxicology, fewer still have training in green chemistry or sustainable design principles. As a result these new graduates do not have the information they need to develop new chemicals, materials, and products that are environmentally benign.

If you are in a leadership position in your organization, educating your workforce for the green economy is a practical investment in your company’s future. With consumer demand growing in almost all sectors for more sustainable products, it has become a business imperative to have a workforce ready to implement the principles of sustainable design and green chemistry.

If you are a scientist or engineer, you add value to your organization by educating yourself on how to design more sustainable products. Our professional training courses are specifically designed for scientists and engineers who want to learn how to practically implement the principles of green chemistry in their companies and laboratories.

This training is currently offered in two formats:
