The original print version of Environment Maryland! A Directory
of Business, Education and Career Resources was released by
Governor Glendening in 1996. This directory profiles over 1,000
private, non-profit and government environmental employers and educational
institutions across the state. In addition, the directory contains
information on national and state environmental employment trends
and environmental career pathways. Approximately 7,000 copies were
printed and distributed to:
-
All organizations listed in the directory
- All
public high schools through their county science coordinators
- All
two-year and four-year colleges and universities in Maryland
- All
public libraries in Maryland
- All
members of the 1997 Maryland State Legislature
- Students
interested in environmental careers through class presentations
- High
school science coordinators and career & technology directors
for Maryland counties
-
Key officials at the headquarters for the US Environmental Protection
Agency and US Department of Energy in Washington, DC and their
respective regional offices in Philadelphia, PA; Council on
Environmental Quality
- Select
members of the US Congress on committees relating to the environment
- Individual
requests for the publication, which we are still receiving four
years later.
The
goal of Environmental Maryland! on the Internet is to benefit
several communities in the following ways. This website is:
Good
for Education: Students interested in environmental education
can research programs at high schools and colleges around the
state. Students and job seekers can access information about
environmental internship and career opportunities.
Good
for the Economy: Companies and government agencies can directly
access Maryland's environmental companies for joint ventures
and networking. Maryland environmental businesses can find partners
for contracting opportunities across the U.S. and overseas.
Good
for the Environment: Regulated companies can identify specific
capabilities of Maryland environmental companies. Program managers
and lawmakers can access environmental industry expertise to
assist their decision-making.
