Green Manufacturing Webinar Series
Series Summary

Join us for this four-part webinar series that will give participants a broad look at how to apply green practices in their work environment. The foundation of this series is the Green Enterprise Development program developed by Purdue’s Technical Assistance Program.

Green Enterprise Development was designed by Purdue’s Technical Assistance Program in 2009 for manufacturers and others interested in learning how to apply sustainable, environmentally friendly practices in the workplace. The purpose of this program was to develop a workforce training and accreditation program in the field of sustainability. It includes lecture, hands-on activities, simulations, and case studies that teach how the implementation of environmental sustainable projects lead to increased efficiency and cost reduction. The program is composed of nine in-class modules, one online module, and seven facilitator training modules.

Through the 3-level program, participants can earn an SME Green Manufacturing Specialist certificate with accreditation through the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) upon successful completion of an exam. The program also includes courses to train instructors in the Green Generalist and Green Specialist modules and offers an online training module – Green Generalist Online.
