As Southern Arizona’s green economy grows, many people seek training for careers in green businesses that can match their values as well as provide a livelihood.
As evidence of this trend, Tucson-based nonprofit Watershed Management Group has seen overwhelming interest in its WMG Water Harvesting Certification program, a hands-on training program in water harvesting systems design and construction.
To meet this demand, WMG is more than doubling its course offerings in 2010, including an expansion of the program into metro Phoenix.
The WMG Water Harvesting Certification program is the only one of its kind in the nation, providing some 60 hours of hands-on training in design and installation of water harvesting earthworks, cisterns, greywater systems, and sustainable landscaping.
