Green Design Apprenticeship Program for Local High School Students

Through the Gifted and Talented Apprenticeship Program of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit (AIU), Green Design has twice offered a Green Design Apprenticeship for local high school students to experience the issues and activities of Green Design engineers and researchers. Students meet one day per month over 5 months to learn about current research areas such as life cycle assessment, environmental impacts of energy consumption and electricity generation, and green building infrastructure.
