The Center supports Innovation Networks, focused working groups of stakeholders with the objective of making significant, industry-wide system change. Current networks focus on clean electronics, regenerative agriculture, and food system nutrient density.

Role Description

CEPN will be undertaking the second phase of a project to create and deploy chemical safety trainings to suppliers in the electronics supply chain. This project includes the following objectives:

• Disseminate best practices in process chemical management to upstream suppliers 
• Reduce worker exposures to hazardous chemicals in the electronics industry  
• Strengthen worker safety and engagement 
• Capacity development for local service providers to deliver impactful and cost-effective training and advisory service 

Working closely with the CEPN Senior Director and with support from the CEPN Program Manager, the Senior Fellow will lead the management and growth of Phase 2 of this grant-funded project by providing technical expertise and project management.

2. Beta Testing: Deploy the worker and manager training modules in three modalities (in person training, webinars and digital interactive training) to selected suppliers facilities; and collect feedback
3. Improve Training: Work with our training developer to refine and improve the training based on feedback from the beta testing 

In addition to managing this project, the Senior Fellow may provide occasional support to the Senior Director in crafting strategic direction for CEPN and other ongoing initiatives including network management and strategic planning.
