Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The data analyzed includes all trainings/courses offered by the UC Davis Continuing Professional Education (CPE)—not only the courses open for public, but also the trainings conducted by CPE for specific clients, which are not open for sign-ups from the general public.

UC Davis Continuing Professional Education provided the Sustainability office with a list of all trainings/courses offered between July 2020 and June 2022. The Sustainability office then employed a keyword search combined with the inventory from the previous 2020 STARS report to identify a list of potential sustainable course offerings. The results of the keyword search were vetted manually to arrive at the final list.

Cora Ballek, a student employee at the UC Davis Sustainability office, assisted in compiling this credit response.
