SUMMARY:Advancing Urban Forestry with Credentials That Count
DESCRIPTION:Professional certifications and qualifications are more than letters after your name—they demonstrate expertise\, build credibility\, validate competencies\, and signal a commitment to professional excellence. As urban forestry programs face increasing demands and expectations\, specialized credentials can advance careers while helping organizations build a skilled\, knowledgeable\, and resilient workforce. \nJoin us for an engaging webinar that demystifies the world of professional certifications and qualifications in arboriculture and urban forestry. We’ll explore some of the industry’s most recognized qualifications and advanced credentials and share details about the new ISA Certified Urban Forest Professional credential (formerly the ISA Certified Arborist Municipal Specialist®) to help identify the best path for achieving professional milestones for you and your staff. \nAdvancing Urban Forestry with Credentials That Count provides an overview of ISA credential pathways\, application requirements\, and continuing education expectations. You’ll learn how organizations can leverage certifications and qualifications as part of workforce development\, succession planning\, recruitment\, and retention efforts. We’ll also explore how credential requirements and preferred qualifications in job descriptions can help attract qualified candidates\, establish clear performance expectations\, and strengthen urban forestry programs. \nWhether you are exploring your first certification\, expanding your qualifications\, or developing a workforce strategy for your organization\, this webinar will help you navigate the opportunities available and build a credentialing pathway that supports professional growth and organizational success. Join us to invest in your future\, strengthen your workforce\, and discover how professional credentials can help advance urban forestry careers and programs. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the purpose\, benefits\, and requirements of arboriculture and urban forestry certifications and qualifications.\nEvaluate which credentials best align with their professional experience\, career goals\, and professional development needs.\nDevelop a credentialing strategy for themselves or their organization\, including certification maintenance and the use of credentials in job descriptions and workforce planning.\n\nThanks to Bartlett Tree Experts – our Exclusive Learning Series Partner! \nThis webinar is approved for one ISA CEU. \nWebinar topic supports the UCFS Accreditation Program: Standard 1 \nRegister today!
