Applications Sought For Emerging Leaders’ Extraction And Environment Program
|
|
Applications are now being accepted for participation in the month-long E-LEEP leadership training program which focuses on responsible, environmentally-sound approaches for managing the direct and indirect effects of natural resource extraction.
The E-LEEP program will be held on the Duquesne University Campus on June 14 through July 9.
The purpose of the program is to train emerging young leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors in strategies for managing the complex challenges arising from the extraction of natural resources such as oil, gas and coal.
The program is being conducted through a joint arrangement between the University of Ghana and Duquesne University, and is funded in part by a grant from the U.S. State Department.
E-LEEP will bring young leaders from the U.S. together with their Ghanaian counterparts as they explore the leadership challenges of extractive projects, paying particular attention to the Marcellus Shale initiative in Western Pennsylvania and in the practice of mountaintop coal removal in West Virginia.
Participants will learn about responsible, collaborative leadership strategies in the context of these projects, with the ultimate goal being to prepare the participants to apply what they learn to their jobs upon the completion of the program.
There are 20 U.S. participant slots available. Of these 20 participants, eight will be short-listed to receive a full scholarship (including travel and meals) to a subsequent program which will be conducted in Ghana during summer 2011.
Please visit the E-LEEP Program webpage for details on tuition, application requirements and additional program details.
