Greening the workforce: the case for sustainable skills
At my first Group
Training National Conference, I was delighted to be invited to chair a session
titled 'Greening Group Training'.Many organisations
are interested in how they can become more sustainable and I was pleased to see
Group Training Australia (GTA) demonstrating leadership by featuring a session
on how group training organizations (GTOs) are responding to the needs of
industry and apprentices, and also incorporating sustainability policies and
practices into their own businesses.
The panel session featured excellent examples of leadership in fostering skills for sustainability and introducing sustainable business policies and practices across a range of metropolitan, regional and remote GTOs. It featured WPC Group (Nicholas Wyman), Central West Group Apprentices (Ben Bardon) and Group Training Northern Territory (Mike Harrison).
