Hi all,
I am presently working as Talent Acquisition and also leading sustainability activities in org. I want to transition my role to PM in sustainability but I don't have required skills sets. I am planning to start with Green Project manager certification(GPM-b). Does anyone done that or are familiar with that. Or do you have advice/certificate recommendations for someone to transition into a sustainability job smoothly.
Thanks

I’ve never heard of GPM-b. Certifications that can be obtained that are relevant and I see a lot of sustainability professionals carrying are: LEED-GA and PMP.

@OP note LEED is specifically for built environment and/or real estate. If you're working on something like supply chain, manufacturing, or product design it'll be less relevant

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
