Continuing Professional Education Services (CPES) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing the Garden State through high-quality environmental training, community outreach, and workforce development.
Much more than a provider of technical courses for Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs) and other practitioners, CPES is a champion of lifelong learning—bringing up-to-date science, practical skills, and regulatory insight to professionals, students, and underserved communities across New Jersey.
Why Your Gift Matters
Empower Problem-Solvers
From brownfield revitalization to climate resilience, New Jersey’s toughest environmental challenges require knowledgeable professionals. CPES equips thousands of engineers, geologists, planners, and municipal officials each year with accredited programs that raise the bar for public health and environmental stewardship.
Expand Access & Affordability
Scholarships, sliding-scale fees, and free “Hot Topic” webinars ensure cost is never a barrier to critical education. Your donation directly underwrites seats for small-business consultants, municipal staff, veterans, and students who might otherwise be priced out of training.
Strengthen Communities
CPES partners with local nonprofits, schools, and environmental justice advocates to deliver outreach workshops on soil safety, vapor intrusion, and sustainable redevelopment—translating complex regulations into practical steps residents can take to protect their neighborhoods.
Build Tomorrow’s Workforce
