Certified Climate Change Professional® (CC-P®) Credential Training Programs
This program is designed to help participants build competencies to effectively integrate climate change into their decision-making and professional activities, as well as to advance their entrepreneurship and leadership skills. Leveraging a combination of on-demand online training resources and in-person cohort training, this workshop series will prepare attendees for the CC-P® exams and satisfy most elective requirements for the credential.
Note: The curriculum in this training series is being offered by ACCO to a national audience. Participants will include professionals outside the State of Maryland. Due to the Coronavirus, ACCO and the State of Maryland are making these programs available through the Maryland Climate Leadership Academy. As a result, we have added an extra session in which all scenarios, case studies, policies and programs that are normally woven throughout the in-person version of this program will be offered in a single webinar.
