GPRO Delivery Partners include:
Non-Profit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations, including USGBC Chapters and workforce development groups, share a commitment to delivering education to their communities. Nonprofits know their local industry networks and can connect their constituents to GPRO, filling a critical training gap.
Educational Institutions
Since its inception, GPRO has been integrated into the curriculum of educational institutions and workforce development organizations throughout the country. GPRO rounds out existing program offerings and expands students’ knowledge base to include in-demand high-performance building skills.
Employers and Associations
We work with companies to deliver GPRO to a range of employees and members. GPRO has trained top construction and real estate firms nationwide, including Boston Properties, Vornado Realty Trust, and Empire State Realty Trust.
Unions
GPRO was developed in collaboration with leading associations representing trades and contractors, including international trade unions, to ensure that industry needs are met. Our top union partners are United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
How do we deliver GPRO?
Urban Green Council works with Delivery Partners across the U.S. and Canada to train regionally.
