The Energy Group provides training in a wide variety of subjects. Training can be developed for any of the titles listed below in the form of in-country workshops and seminars or U.S. based courses, internships and study tours. Training targeted for high-level executives, senior management and policy makers generally take place in country in the form of seminars and short-term workshops. Forums and workshops are designed to increase understanding and build support for energy and environmental issues among key decision-makers, offering collaborative forums for the varied perspectives of all sectors involved in decision-making. At the next level, the Energy Group offers U.S.-based courses which provide in-depth technical practical training. The Energy Group offers follow-up in-country technical assistance and U.S.-based or international study tours to expose participants to industry expertise. Study tours and internships can be developed to complement the program or as a single, independent training event.

This multi-level approach to training is designed to build a network of support to promote the implementation of energy and environmental projects in participating countries. In addition, all alumni are encouraged to participate in the Alumni Network in order to remain in contact with other professionals worldwide in their particular field.

The training is highly participatory, requiring significant involvement by all who attend. Drawing on the participants' experience, as well as on case studies, it critically examines project successes and failures through structured discussions. Training may be custom-designed to respond to local interests and needs or developed to meet the needs of developing countries worldwide.

Listed on the following pages are representative courses and workshops which The Energy Group currently offers, has offered in the past, and can readily offer in the future if a sufficient demand exists. This list is not exclusive. We will respond to any need identified and will develop programs to meet specific training needs.
