MIA ROETHLEIN Vermont Technical College has hired Mia Roethlein to manage Green Training programs at Ver­mont Tech’s Center for Sustainable Practices (CSP).

The CSP’s Green Training Pro­gram, now in its second year, is becoming a key New England des­tination for those seeking work­force training in the growing green trades—solar, geothermal, weath­erization, green building, and more.

Roethlein, former program man­ager for Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District, brings project management and customer service experience to this position, as well as a personal and profes­sional dedication to sustainability. Roethlein will be responsible for managing and growing the Green Training Program, expanding the trainings offered, and increasing public awareness of this education­al resource.

CSP plans to substantially ex­pand this year the number and type of training classes held at several sites around the state, said Donna Barlow Casey, CSP director.

Vermont Tech’s certificate train­ing programs, she said, increase participants’ job skills and em­ployment opportunities and offer industry-recognized certificates upon successful completion of the program. The training classes help businesses stay competitive and meet new energy-efficiency and lead-safety requirements, and offer a full range of classes in Vermont.
