EH&S preparation-meeting the needs of hiring managers

Sound environmental management systems add value to business by reducing liability and fines for non-compliance. Increasingly, these systems are being used to address sustainable enterprise challenges of the next century. The well-prepared professional environmental manager is critical to advancing the state of environmental protection and leading the organization to create greater stewardship. Carol Singer Neuvelt, Executive Director of the National Association for Environmental Management, describes a business/education survey and subsequent Summit on understanding how business and environmental management education schools view these critical skills.
