USGBC’s U.S. Market Insight’s Summit: Workforce Development in Green Building

Illinois Green Alliance is a proud partner of USGBC’s digital U.S. Market Insights Summit: Workforce Development in Green Building, taking place online Sept. 3-5. 

The need for a skilled green workforce has grown exponentially across the U.S., but many companies are facing unprecedented challenges in finding enough workers to fill open jobs. How can we recruit, train and connect with a skilled green workforce to meet this demand?  

USGBC’s Workforce Development in Green Building Summit will explore strategies for growing the green workforce that align with the principles of sustainability, including prioritizing social equity, health and quality of life. Attendees will learn about successful education, training and pre-apprenticeship programs, examine how the LEED rating system supports workforce development, discuss funding opportunities such as those availble through the Inflation Reduction Act, and more.  
 

This summit will take place as six 1.5-hour sessions over three days. The first day will focus on policy, partnerships and funding; the second day will explore next wave opportunities through USGBC tools; and the third day will examine exemplary industry programs. Sessions will be approved for GBCI and AIA continuing education credits. 

Early bird pricing is available for full conference passes through August 9. USGBC member early bird full conference passes are $105, and nonmember early bird full conference passes are $155. One day passes are $45 for members and $65 for nonmembers. Students and emerging professionals may purchase full conference passes for $25.
