Testimonials
"What I liked best about Purdue's Green Enterprise program is that it included a process simulation where all the participants were able to contribute and apply what was learned in the classroom environment. Everyone had improvement ideas based on the contextualization of the information regardless of background or experience."
- Nick Real, Machine Tool Technology Dept. Chair, Cerritos College, Cerritos, California
"The Green Generalist curriculum is the perfect means for Blackhawk Technical College to serve our business and industry partners in southern Wisconsin. Our faculty and staff learned basic knowledge on environmentally friendly processes and applied it to a practical business simulation. We look forward to sharing this knowledge and application with our students/graduates as well."
