============================================================
The Professional level course offers an intensive, practical experience in which learners design, carry out, and assess their own sustainability project in accordance with their individual, organizational, or business goals and capabilities. During the course, learners will identify measures of accountability, success, and progress on a sustainability issue of the learners’ choice; engage extensively with debates, policies, and practices of sustainability across multiple points of the value chain; lead others in discussion and practice of these issues; serve as an advocate for intelligent sustainability programming across the coffee industry by making educated choices about trade-offs, sustainability costs, and concepts; and finally develop, carry out, and assess a sustainability effort that (a) fits within the student’s individual, business, or organization capabilities, (b) can be measured and traceable, (c) and contains structures of accountability.
