The UH Foresight program is very happy to announce a “bonus” fall 2014 offering of the foresight certificate course.  Space is limited for this special seminar, which  coincides with the special issue of THE FUTURIST magazine (Sept./Oct. 2014) on Futures Education.  Houston faculty, alumni and  students are featured authors in the issue:

  • Collaborative Futures Education, Peter Bishop
  • Foresight in Middle School: Teaching the Future For the Future, Katie King

There is even a section devoted to THE HOUSTON EXPERIENCE, including Richard Yonck’s essay about the certificate program itself:

  • Transforming a Graduate Futures Program, University of Houston, Oliver Markley
  • A Training Ground for Professional Futurists, Andy Hines
  • Inside the Houston Futures Strategic Foresight Program, Richard Yonck

The UH Foresight certificate program is a 5-day, project-based, face-to-face workshop. Participants learn to anticipate disruptive change and work towards the creation of transformational change in order to influence the future of their organizations, companies and communities. Participants will receive a Certificate in Foresight and four (4) CEUs (Continuing Education Units) from the University of Houston for attending the seminar. Students can also obtain a separate departmental Certificate of Achievement in Foresight if they complete a foresight project after program delivery.
