Access Experts

We’re looking to connect the next generation of green building industry leaders with those at the helm today. Look for:

  • Internship Opportunities offer real-life project experience to graduates of the LEED Strategic Practices Program by posting top performers within a consulting firm or within the CaGBC’s LEED team.

We are looking for mentors!

Make a lasting impression on the future leaders of green building in Canada. Become a CaGBC mentor to share your expertise, passion and understanding of this growing industry with an Emerging Green Professional. They want what you have.

I would be a great mentor, how can I help?
