Padding That Resume in 2008: NAHB Certified Green Professional

January 18, 2008  |  from Construction Jobs Blog

In response to the rapidly growing green building trend, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) will unveil its new Certified Green Professional designation during Green Day at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, Fl.  (Remember, ConstructionJobsBlog will have real-time updates and news posted all day, every day during the IBS — check out CJB on the 14th for live coverage of Green Day!)

NAHB President Brian Catalde said, “We know green is the future of building.  With the Certified Green Professional designation, we’re helping our qualified members demonstrate to their clients that the future is here.”

And demonstrating that you are up to par with green practices is something that is sure to help your resume in 2008.  With demand for green homes, products and services increasing exponentially, a tangible, ‘green’ certification on your resume makes you a more attractive candidate, no matter which part of the industry you specialize in.

Special pre-conference education sessions are available even now for those looking to get certified as soon as possible.  According to NAHB, the first class of Certified Green Professionals will receive their designations at the 10th annual NAHB National Green Building Conference, May 11-13, 2008 in New Orleans.
