Practical Geocommunication Course

Through Geoscientists Canada, APEGS has acquired a professional development opportunity which allows all members FREE access to Geologize’s critically acclaimed course ‘Practical Geocommunication’ – a $450 US per person value.

This 10-hour course has video lessons, quizzes, brief assignments and the opportunity to interact directly with Dr. Haydon Mort, the course instructor, through forums. Launched on January 5, 2022, the course is on-demand and available until Dec. 31, 2023. Members can sign up now and start at any point.

The geocommunications training helps geoscientists become more effective and powerful public ambassadors for geoscience. This skill is more important today than ever as professionals communicate with broad audiences about the effects and mitigation of climate change, impart knowledge concerning critical minerals, communicate with various stakeholder groups, inspire the next generation of geoscientists in the face of declining post-secondary geoscience enrolment; and so many other important topics.
