As the global movement towards sustainability continues to dominate headlines and policy agendas, the importance and demand for ‘green skills’, or ‘skills for sustainability’ among our current and future workforce and within our communities is also growing.
The concept of ‘skills for sustainability’ is an umbrella term that sees practical, technical and professional skills combined with the knowledge, values and attitudes required to address the challenges of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
It is widely accepted by tertiary institutions, professional industry bodies and the federal government that Australian graduates should be leaving university with a solid understanding of sustainability, as well as the capacity to face real world problems.
Australian higher education institutions are implementing a range of learning programs and initiatives addressing these challenges.
This site enables:
-
Academic staff and members of teaching units to find effective practice and resources for teaching sustainability
-
University leaders and policy makers to access resources on implementing programs in sustainability, staff development initiatives and embedding sustainability in policy
-
Prospective students to promptly identify courses and programs with a focus on sustainability, from short courses to postgraduate study
This site is mantained and developed by the University of Technology, Sydney. This site was originally developed through a joint initiative of the Australian Government, the Australian Learning and Teaching Council and the University of Western Sydney.
