USCC Programs help you grow, excel, and achieve!
One of the goals of the USCC is to expand industry-wide professional development through education and certification for compost producers and professional specifiers through programs such as USCC Certification, Compost University™ and Career Center. We believe our members and member companies can make an impact on the industry through education and certification.
We offer a full range of professional development opportunities to fuel career growth for composting professionals and high performance for the companies who employ them:
The USCC Certification Commission offers two credentials, the Certified Compost Operations Manager™ (CCOM™) and the Certified Composting Professional™ (CCP™).
A CCOM™ understands all aspects of composting operations, from feedstock arrival through marketing and uses, including environmental controls and the larger context of organics recycling, and waste management. A CCP™ has similar knowledge base as a CCOM™ but has gained that through a variety of work and training experiences, instead of at a compost manufacturing facility. Consultants, equipment providers, educators, program managers, and even regulators could all earn a CCP™.
Compost University™ brings the classroom to you all year with 150+ courses from beginner to advanced. Earn continuing education credits and learn at your own pace, wherever you are!
For employers and job seekers, you can simplify your hiring process or discover new opportunities using USCC Career Center. Intuitive to use, take a look today and see how easy it is to find new employees or level up your career game.
