Labor College Offers Green Workplace Representative Program



by James Parks, Feb 19, 2011

Courses in the National Labor College’s (NLC’s) new Green Workplace Representative Certificate Program will begin on June 26. The program consists of four required, weeklong courses. Students must complete 12 credits to earn the certificate.

Students who enroll in the program will learn how to conduct workplace sustainability audits, which can save energy and water, reduce waste, use environmentally-friendly products, recycle materials, maintain employee health, adopt clean technologies and reduce carbon emissions, while retaining good jobs at family-sustaining wages.
