How is the USGBC Education Partner program different from the USGBC Faculty program?
USGBC Faculty are individuals passionate about teaching in-person courses/workshops whereas USGBC Education Partners are organizations excelling in creating quality online education for the USGBC course catalog and Learning Lab platforms.
What does it mean to be an Education Partner?
USGBC Education Partners are the leaders, trusted voices, and reputable providers of green building and sustainability education. USGBC is moving away from our focus on developing and delivering green building education ourselves. Instead, we are focusing our efforts on supporting the USGBC Education Partner network to make sure they have the resources, knowledge, and skills to produce best-in-class education. USGBC will highlight and promote our partners' education as the go-to solution for those looking to build their green building knowledge.
What are the benefits of becoming a USGBC Education Partner?
USGBC Education Partners pay an annual fee, contribute best-in-class LEED or green building education toward the course catalog subscription, and offer courses for individual sale through the course catalog.
A unique menu of options is available to USGBC communities and higher education institutions. All questions about becoming an education partner should be directed to education@usgbc.org.
USGBC Education Partners receive several benefits including access to USGBC’s intellectual property, industry data and marketplace analytics, as well as educational development resources, enabling them to create content that meets the demand of green education consumers. Education partner courses will go through a streamlined GBCI CE approval process and all attendee hours will be directly reported to GBCI through an automated process.
Each education partner will also receive one free subscription to the course catalog for the duration of their contract.
This is an annual program based on the calendar year. We only accept and review applications at the end of every year in Q4.
