Vermont Business Magazine The University of Vermont Grossman School of Business today announced the launch of its new 15-credit Certificate of Graduate Study in Sustainable Enterprise and its Leading Sustainable Innovation Professional Certificate Program, both accepting enrollments for January 2019.
Organizations around the globe are responding to new challenges and opportunities. Many have embraced doing business more sustainably as they understand how to successfully apply the principle of the triple bottom-line. Using core content from our top-ranked Sustainable Innovation MBA, UVM’s new and groundbreaking programs are designed to help your business or NGO prepare to respond to the revolutions affecting markets, technology, demographics, and values and build your sustainable business thinking. Our forward-thinking programs are designed to affect change within your organization and yield sustainable—and profitable—results.
UVM’s Certificate of Graduate Study in Sustainable Enterprise offers an incredible opportunity for business leaders to explore sustainability concepts, practices, and innovations that resonate with stakeholders and investors, customers, and employees in order to create social, environmental and economic value. Our fully online program prepares you to understand how enterprises stay competitive incorporating sustainable practices, develops your 21st century business acumen, and fully integrates sustainability issues into each course in the curriculum.
Learn by doing with UVM’s fully online, 8-week Leading Sustainable Innovation Professional Certificate Program. Participants work in diverse teams, across functions, geographies, roles, and sectors to engage in a realistic, highly sophisticated and immersive simulation experience through which participants transform a conventional business into a sustainable one, navigating a complex change process. Turning online learning and traditional executive education on its head, UVM’s program puts you in the driver’s seat, controlling approaches and outcomes within a virtual practice field, in order to develop business ecosystems thinking, collaboration and teamwork, and sustainability and financial/business acumen.
